Officers shot a man involved in a domestic disturbance outside the Dallas Love Field airport terminal after he rushed one of them, a police spokesman said Friday.
A father was throwing rocks at the mother of his children outside the baggage claim area, Assistant Police Chief Randy Blankenbaker told reporters.
An officer who responded was able to move the woman away, “but the individual came toward him again, and so he discharged his weapon a number of times,” Blankenbaker said.
The man was struck several times and was taken to a hospital. Blankenbaker did not release his name or his condition.
The woman was unhurt; police believe no children were present at the time, Blankenbaker said.
