Police are investigating a shooting at Love Field Airport in Dallas, Texas. The incident occurred on Monday morning involving a 37-year-old woman, Portia Sharlette Odufuwa, who entered the airport with a gun, approached the ticket counter and shot at the ceiling several times.
Odufuwa was taken into custody and transported to the hospital after being shot by police. She has been reported as stable. There were no other injuries reported. The suspect was involved in prior incidents including robbery. She also believed that she was Chris Brown's wife and "God's prophet" in another incident involving arson (she was cleared of charges due to lack of evidence). This incident gives rise to the increased shootings in the United States being so closely linked to mental health.
Flights were paused but resumed around 3:30 in the afternoon the same day. Evacuated passengers that didn't go home were still able to travel.
