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.
No injuries were reported, and passengers were placed on another flight, the spokesperson said. The airplane has been removed from service.
