DALLAS — Dallas police Chief Eddie García said Tuesday the woman accused of opening fire inside a terminal at Dallas Love Field airport has been prohibited from owning a firearm for years.
At a news conference at police headquarters, García said the gun Portia Odufuwa, 37, used Monday was not registered under her name, and added that she tried to buy a gun in Texas at least two times since 2016 but was denied because of an outstanding traffic warrant out of New Mexico.
Odufuwa was dropped off at the airport around 11 a.m. Monday by an Uber driver, then went inside a bathroom and came out wearing a hoodie. García said although the Uber driver noticed something “peculiar” about Odufuwa, the driver will not be involved in the investigation.
