DALLAS - Dallas police have identified the woman who they say fired several shots inside Love Field Airport before officers shot her. No one else was injured.
Portia Odufuwa, 37, was taken to the hospital in an unknown condition. Police have not revealed a motive.
Odufuwa is known to local law enforcement. She has a criminal record that includes an arrest for a bank robbery.
One witness first noticed the woman when she yelled that she had an announcement to make. She thought Odufuwa was an employee until she opened fire.
Shaky cell phone video captured part of the chaos inside Dallas Love Field Monday.
Dallas police say just before 11 a.m., Odufuwa was dropped off at the airport.
Witnesses say Odufuwa walked inside the airport, went to the bathroom, changed clothes and then opened fire with a handgun near the Southwest Airlines ticket counter.
"At this point, we don't know where the individual was aiming most now. Is she is aiming at the ceiling?" said Dallas Police Chief Eddie Garcia. "Our officer engages the suspect, striking her in the lower extremities. She is taken into custody and is currently at Parkland Hospital."
Did someone disrespect her? Cause niggers always be demanding respect n sheeit.

This brave women tired to break the male dominated glass ceiling of mass shooters and was stopped by a racist, sexist, probably white man. Women shouldn’t be held back from accomplishing their dreams, whether it be a job or a shooting. So sad!

Portia was just delivering an UberEats Odufuwa one of the employees at the airport, and she just missed her mark.
