On July 25, 2022, a woman with a history of mental problems entered Love Field Airport in Dallas, Texas, a little after 11 a.m. After a short time, she fired shots and was shot by a Dallas police officer within a few seconds.
From the time stamp on a body camera, Portia Odufua entered Love Field Airport in Dallas at about 11 a.m. on July 25, 2022. A short time later, she was firing rounds from a handgun into the ceiling as she was reported to be making statements about marriage and saying she would blow up the airport.
Odufua entered the airport with her left hand in the pocket of her hoodie/sweatshirt. She then entered a restroom. When she came out, both hands were in her pocket.
As she approached the ticket counter area, she has her right hand in her pocket. There is no audio in the video. She has been reported to make statements just before pulling what appears to be a semi-automatic handgun and firing shots above her head at about 2:20 in the video.
At this point, a Dallas police officer was approaching and was a few yards away from her. At the shots, he backpedals a few feet while drawing his pistol and seeking cover behind a Kiosk. He returns fire in about five seconds.
Ms. Odufua is down on the floor within about 9 seconds of the first shot, at about 2:29 in the video. Fox News has reported Odufua was prohibited from possessing firearms because of her history. From fox4kdfw:

Once again a shooter targets a place they know firearms are prohibited.
The answer is not less guns.....it’s MORE in the hands of trained individuals.
There’s a reason this crap doesn’t happen at pawn shops and gun stores......employees in those places open carry.......what a concept right?
Good for the cop. The only issue from a cursory view is you keep shooting until the criminal that is shooting stops moving. You can clearly see the cop commanding the criminal who is still squirming on the ground while he is trying to get bystanders back behind him. She was on the ground but clearly moving, hence still a threat.
Great reaction time from this officer. A true hero.
And a fine job he did. Immediately got clear of bystanders and sought out the clearest lane to engage and eliminate the threat. Fine, fine work.
“O’dufua”
Irish, right?/s
Negative…he turned his back to the chick shooting and ran a few yards.
Uvalde is in need of a competent police chief.
