Dallas Police have confirmed the shooter was a 37-year-old woman (how did they know it's a woman, are they biologists?) who fired multiple shots near the ticket counter.

She was the only one injured, wounded by a quick-responding officer, and has been taken to hospital.

@DallasLoveField what just happened? A group of people were running and yelling “run” and we all immediately took cover. Nothing has been communicated to us. Everything seems to be calm now. It was most certainly a scary experience for all. @SouthwestAir pic.twitter.com/zU7QLhFV4C

This was frightening. Waiting for flight home at #lovefield, everyone in the terminal began running for the gates in sheer panic. Supposedly active shooter at ticket counter. @SouthwestAir staff were amazing, doing everything to get us to safety. #guncontrol #EnoughIsEnough pic.twitter.com/kSZmFdR9UC

The extent of that person's injuries is not yet known and we don't yet know anything about who that person is.

Rockwall Police Chief Max Geron, a former Dallas Police Department commander, tweeted about 11:20 a.m. that he "just got evacuated of Love Field after an apparent shooting."

"Family is safe," Geron tweeted. "TSA did a great job."
