A law enforcement officer shot and wounded an inmate Friday evening during a confrontation between the two men in the restroom of the Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, according to airport officials.
No flight schedules had been affected by the shooting inside the bathroom near gate C10, where the security checkpoint had been closed during the investigation, airport spokesman David Magana said.
The shooting involved an “outside law enforcement agency officer who was escorting a prisoner” through the airport, according a statement posted on the airport’s official Twitter feed.
The inmate was shot once in the hand, and both men were transported to a local hospital by ambulance, Magana said. No other injuries were reported.
