A Southwest Airlines plane about to take off from Dallas Love Field was struck by gunfire Friday night, police said. Officers responded at about 9:50 to a shooting call at the airport. A Southwest Airlines spokesperson said Indianapolis-bound Flight 2494 had to return to the terminal after a bullet struck the right side of the aircraft just under the flight deck.

“Southwest Airlines Flight 2494 taxied safely back to the terminal at Dallas Love Field after a bullet apparently struck the right side of the aircraft just under the flight deck while the Crew was preparing for departure for Indianapolis,” airline officials said in a statement obtained by WFAA.

Southwest is the main carrier at Love Field, and the airline’s headquarters is there, too. The airport, ringed by residential neighborhoods, is eight miles from downtown. Love Field was the region’s main airport until Dallas Fort Worth International Airport opened in 1974.
