Bullet Strikes Southwest Plane in Dallas Incident
News summary

A Southwest Airlines flight preparing to depart from Dallas Love Field Airport for Indianapolis was struck by a bullet on Friday night, causing the flight's cancellation. The bullet hit the right side of the Boeing 737-800 aircraft near the cockpit, but no injuries were reported among the 99 passengers onboard. The plane returned safely to the gate, and passengers were re-accommodated on another flight. The Dallas Police Department is investigating the incident, and while the source of the gunfire remains unknown, no arrests have been made. The incident led to a temporary closure of the runway, which was reopened with minimal impact on airport operations. This event follows a recent series of similar incidents in Haiti, prompting the FAA to ban U.S. airlines from flying there for 30 days due to safety concerns.
