Police released video Tuesday of a woman accused of firing several gunshots inside a Dallas airport.
The woman faces a charge of aggravated assault of a public servant because she allegedly fired one round toward a police officer, according to an arrest warrant.
The officer shot and wounded Portia Odufuwa, who was taken to a hospital after Monday’s shooting at Dallas’ Love Field Airport.
Odufuwa, who had no luggage, entered the ticketing area, then went into a restroom, emerging with her hands in the pockets of a hooded sweatshirt, according to the arrest warrant. She then went toward a ticket counter and witnesses reported hearing a disturbance before she shouted, “I’m going to blow this [expletive] up!” and pulled a handgun.
She fired two rounds in the ceiling and as she was confronted by a police officer, she fired in his direction, the arrest warrant said. The officer was not struck.
Dallas police Chief Eddie Garcia has said Odufuwa was shot in her “lower extremities.” He said no one else was injured.
