Gunfire strikes Southwest plane on tarmac of Dallas airport, officials say

There were no injuries after a Southwest flight carrying passengers was struck by gunfire on the tarmac of Dallas Love Field Friday night, authorities said.

Southwest Airlines Flight 2494 was preparing for departure to Indianapolis when "a bullet apparently struck the right side of the aircraft under the flight deck," a Southwest spokesperson told CBS News in a statement.

The airline said no one was hurt. A spokesperson for Dallas Love Field said in an email that the aircraft returned to its gate after sustaining damage from a "security incident" and the passengers deplaned. The runway was also temporarily closed, but has since reopened.
