The bullet struck the right side of the Southwest Airlines jet just under the flight deck around 8.30pm local time on Friday (2.30am on Saturday UK time).

Passengers safely left the commercial plane as it was returned to the gate at Dallas Love Field Airport in Texas with another flight planned for them.

In a social media post, Dallas Love Field Airport said the city's police department responded and runway 13R/31L was closed, but reopened later on Friday night with "minimal impact" on the facility's operations.
