Woman accused of shooting at Dallas airport was ordered to attend ‘psychosocial counseling’

The 37-year-old woman who was arrested after firing a handgun inside the Dallas Love Field Airport on Monday had previously been ordered by a judge to undergo “psychosocial counseling.” 

The New York Times is reporting that Portia Odufuwa was shot and injured by a police officer after she fired a weapon several times in a ticket counter area of the airport. 

Authorities said the shooting happened after the woman was dropped off near the Southwest Airlines ticket counter at about 11 a.m. She changed clothes in a restroom before emerging and opening fire, Chief Eddie Garcia of the Dallas Police Department said at a news conference on Monday afternoon, according to Yahoo. 

Odufuwa was struck “in the lower extremities” by a Dallas police officer after she began firing into the air and “aiming at the ceiling,” police said, The Times reported. She was arrested and taken to a hospital and authorities have not updated her condition.

No one was injured during the shooting, WFAA-TV reported on its Youtube channel, but the incident left today!
