Man shot near baggage claim

A police officer shot and wounded a man Friday outside a Dallas airport after the man attacked a woman believed to be the mother of his children and then threatened the officer with a large rock, police said.

“There doesn’t appear to be any other weapon present than the rock,” Dallas Police Assistant Chief Randall Blakenbaker said.

Video posted by Instagram user @flashyfilms — and credited to Bryan Armstrong — shows the commotion on the curb outside baggage claim at Dallas Love Field. Amid the sound of nine gunshots and an officer's shouts to “get down,” some people scramble while others stand watching before officers order them back inside.

Asked why the officer fired so many rounds at a man holding a rock, Blankenbaker said only that he did not know how many shots were fired. Some airport operations were temporarily disrupted, but the airport remained open.
