Dallas police Chief Eddie García said Tuesday the woman accused of opening fire inside a terminal at Dallas Love Field airport has been prohibited from owning...
Portia Odufuwa, 37, has previously faced charges including arson, robbery, criminal trespass and false reporting.
It is unclear how she obtained the gun, and García said Tuesday police had not yet searched her home or talked with people she knows to discern a motive. At the news conference Tuesday, García said Odufuwa fired into the air three times, but a department spokeswoman later clarified that she fired twice into the air and once toward Cronin, a 15-year veteran of the department.
García said Cronin fired at Odufuwa eight or nine times, striking her multiple times in her “lower extremities.”The footage shows three more officers join Cronin near the kiosk. In body-cam footage, one is heard saying “Put your hands up, don’t move. What are you doing?”Odufuwa pushes the gun away. As the officers move toward her, Odufuwa is heard groaning in pain while lying on her stomach, blood smeared across the floor beneath her.
No bond or jail location information was available Tuesday afternoon, and it was unclear whether she was still in the hospital. Other charges against her include robbery, criminal trespass and false reporting — all filed in cities across North Texas over the past several years.Wylie police said Odufuwa entered the Bank of America in the 1300 block of West FM544 and displayed a note demanding an undisclosed amount of money. Customers were moved to a safe location, and responding officers found Odufuwa nearby as she tried to flee, police said.
