A Southwest Airlines plane was hit by a bullet while preparing to takeoff from Dallas Love Field Airport on Friday evening.

A spokesperson for Southwest Airlines told Fox News Digital that Southwest Airlines Flight 2494 taxied safely back to the terminal at Dallas Love Field after a bullet apparently struck the right side of the aircraft just under the flight deck while the crew was preparing to depart for Indianapolis.
