A Southwest Airlines plane was apparently struck by a bullet Friday night at Dallas Love Field Airport as it was preparing for takeoff.
The Federal Aviation Administration said the Boeing 737 was reportedly struck by gunfire at around 8:30 p.m. local time. The flight was headed to Indianapolis International Airport.
According to Southwest, a bullet "struck the right side of the aircraft just under the flight deck while the Crew was preparing for departure for Indianapolis."
Flight 2494 taxied safely back to the terminal following the incident. There were no reported injuries.
Law enforcement has been notified of the incident and the plane was removed from service, Southwest said.
