A 37-year-old woman sowed panic on Monday at a Dallas (United States) airport after breaking in with a weapon and shooting several times at the ceiling, without causing any injuries, before being reduced by the police, according to local media reports.
The incident began around 11:00 in the morning – 6:00 p.m. Spanish time – when the woman arrived at the Love Field airport in the Texan city of Dallas and began shooting in the area of the check-in counters.
