More: https://www.nytimes.com/2022/07/25/us/d ... oting.htmlNew York Times wrote: 37-year-old woman was taken into custody on Monday after she fired several rounds inside Dallas Love Field Airport in Texas before she was shot and injured by a police officer, the authorities said.
No other injuries were reported, the police said, but the shooting sent travelers scrambling for cover and delayed several flights.
The woman was dropped off at the airport just before 11 a.m., , and then appeared to change her clothes in a restroom before emerging and opening fire inside the airport, Chief Eddie Garcia of the Dallas Police Department said at a news conference on Monday afternoon.
A Dallas police officer inside the airport shot her, striking her “in the lower extremities,” and she was arrested and taken to a hospital, Chief Garcia said. Her condition was not immediately clear on Monday afternoon.
In a later update, the police department identified the woman as Portia Odufuwa, and said that she fired a weapon several times in a ticket counter area of the airport.

Shooting at Love Field
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

She wasn't convicted because of mental incompetence. It sounds like she was supposed to be 'committed'
3 years later she has a gun and is shooting in an airport?Officials confirm the suspect in today’s shooting at #LoveField was arrested in 2019 for bank robbery in Wylie. Portia Odufuwa was found incompetent to stand trial, according to court records. Case was dismissed in lieu of the civil commitment for mental health.

Re: Shooting at Love Field
Gosh, maybe we should have some kind of law that, I don't know, sends up some sort of metaphorical red flag when someone with her mental health history tries to obtain a gun.

I looked into it a little bit. I'm sure I will get corrected and excoriated by the experts on everything that we are so lucky to have on the bored.
Texas got questioned about problems sending juvenile mental health records to the IN PLACE national registry which is used for gun background checks, But they were given good marks for reporting adults with mental health issues to the national registry. And this woman, having been 'committed' by having her conviction overturned, would have been on that national registry. And Texas requires background checks. So we have laws in place that SHOULD have prevented her from having a gun. Seems they don't work very well, huh?
So, what laws do we need to add that this woman would have followed to the letter that would have prevented her from doing what she did? And how well will they work?
How well did her 'commitment' work?
There are laws against robbing banks. Somehow that didn't stop her from doing it.

I guess the time to examine it, if it gets examined at all, is if it fits into the correct narrative.
