Anti-ICE shooting rocks Dallas: Glenn Beck writes a letter to shooter’s anti-gun mother



In the early hours of yesterday morning, 29-year-old Texas native Joshua Jahn opened fire on a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement field office in Dallas, Texas, killing one detainee and injuring two others before killing himself. At least one bullet casing was engraved with the phrase “anti-ICE.”

Ironically, Jahn’s mother, Sharon Jahn, has expressed strong anti-gun views in past social media posts, where she criticized Texas Republican leaders for their support of gun rights and blamed them for gun violence. These old posts have resurfaced following her son’s crime.

While conservatives are responding to Sharon’s anti-gun views in a variety of ways, Glenn Beck decided he would write her a letter. On today’s episode of “The Glenn Beck Program,” he shared his heartfelt yet constructive response.

Glenn’s letter reads:

I write to you with a heavy heart, reflecting on the events of yesterday at the Dallas ICE facility, where your son Joshua took the lives of two migrants, wounded another, and then ended his own life. I honestly cannot imagine the depth of your grief losing your son in such a devastating way. We’re all losing too much — too many children, too many friends, too many shared dreams.

I read your words from a few years ago just this morning, expressing frustration with the gun laws and the pain caused by violence. To me, it shows, one, a mom who cared deeply about the world her son was growing up in. You asked very pointed questions of leaders, holding them accountable for the tools of violence, and today, with respect and with kindness, I would just ask you to reflect on similar questions for yourself.

Did the gun in your son’s hand kill those people, or was it your son’s choice to pull the trigger? Did the gun that ended his life — was that the gun’s decision or your son’s decision? And I wonder as you grapple with your own anger towards systems and policies whether that rage, dare I ask, might it have shaped Joshua’s path? May it have shaped his own anger, his own ideology, his own actions?

I know you don’t seem to understand, but our rights, including the Second Amendment, were born from a time when people feared unchecked power — authoritarianism — which is, I think, what you’re afraid of, or your son was afraid of: governments that silence, oppress, decide who can live or die.

And I don’t know you at all, but I can’t believe that you and I are that different in our hope that our children never face that kind of world. We both see it on the horizon, but at least one of us seems to recognize that it could happen from either side. But one side is really encouraging it, fomenting the hate and the killing here. But it’s not the gun. Never has been.

Guns have been in America’s story from the very beginning. In the 1960s, a kid, an 8-year-old, could go be sent by his father to go buy bullets without question. But the society wasn’t fractured. And when assassination shook us then, we didn’t turn to banning guns. We turned to healing the hate. That time period was followed by the Jesus Revolution. It brought people together, and for a moment, we found common ground again. We need to do that.

I don’t hold any anger toward you. I really feel for you as a parent. And I don’t hold any anger on your son. You both have paid now an unimaginable price, caught in a tangle of rights and responsibilities in a society struggling to find love and compassion. But my hope is that you can find peace, forgive yourself and others, and perhaps one day work toward unity.

We have to come back to shared principles: our universal rights given not by government but by something greater. And together we can honor those — honor all of them, including your son — that we have lost by building a world where love and not hate shapes our future.

Dallas ICE sniper adds to left’s violent scorecard — but Democrats keep stoking the fire



Yesterday, a sniper identified as 29-year-old Joshua Jahn opened fire from a nearby rooftop on a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement field office in Dallas, Texas, in what the FBI is investigating as a targeted act of violence. While no ICE agents were injured in the attack, one detainee was killed and two were critically wounded; Jahn died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound at the scene.

The complexity of the event — an anti-ICE shooter kills an illegal immigrant — has fueled partisan spins. The left, as expected, perceives Jahn as potentially MAGA, ignoring the fact that one of his bullets was engraved with the phrase “anti-ICE.”

But there’s this too: “MAGA doesn’t seem to be the ones who are going around killing people,” says Sara Gonzales, BlazeTV host of “Sara Gonzales Unfiltered.”

This left-wing violence, she argues, has gotten out of control. Jahn is the third radical leftist to orchestrate a violent attack in less than one week.

Last Friday, September 19, 64-year-old Anibal Hernandez Santana allegedly opened fire into the lobby of the ABC-affiliated KXTV/ABC 10 station in Sacramento, California, supposedly protesting Jimmy Kimmel’s temporary suspension from the network. Then, on Saturday, 23-year-old Hunter Nadeau reportedly fired several rounds into Sky Meadow Country Club in Nashua, New Hampshire, while allegedly shouting, “Free Palestine,” killing one person and injuring two others.

Further, all three crimes come in the wake of one of the most horrific acts of left-wing violence against conservatives in recent history: the atrocious murder of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk on September 10.

“It’s hard to keep track of all of these attacks and threats of violence on us. And they still have the nerve to say that we’re the problem,” says Sara. “It’s crazy. This is, like, the biggest gaslighting operation that I have ever seen.”

Jahn’s attack, she reminds, is the fourth attack on an ICE facility in Texas this year. According to DHS, attacks on ICE agents have surged more than 1,000% from January to August 2025, compared to the same period in 2024.

But even though it’s clear that Democrat rhetoric demonizing the Trump administration and the entire MAGA base as Nazis and fascists is contributing to the left-wing violence we’re seeing nearly every week now, nothing has changed. Sure, Democrats will utter meaningless platitudes like, “We need to turn down the temperature,” but five seconds later, they resume using the same language that inspires left-wing radicals to commit violent acts.

The same Democrats condemning political violence are “the very same people who are literally dehumanizing us ... so that what comes next is justified,” Sara says.

She gives five recent examples.

1. Hillary Clinton’s remark on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” that “most of the violence-encouraging rhetoric in the United States is coming from the right.”

2. The lie California governor Gavin Newsom (D) told on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” that “masked men” (ICE agents) were “disappearing” people because the Trump administration is “authoritarian.”

3. Democrat Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett’s comparison of ICE agents to “slave patrols” on MSNBC’s “Velshi.”

4. New York City Democrat mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani’s speech, in which he urged the crowd to “reject Donald Trump’s fascism.”

5. Minnesota Governor Tim Walz (D) calling ICE agents “modern-day gestapo” who ship innocent people off to “foreign torture dungeons.”

“They know what they are saying, what it is going to do, and what it is going to incite. They know it. They just do it anyway,” Sara says.

Landau brothers’ JFK assassination tour unearths mob secrets and dark Dallas truths



In a recent installment of “Normal World,” Dave Landau and his twin brother, Mike, embarked on a grimly humorous yet surprisingly insightful exploration of the exact site where John F. Kennedy was assassinated. Cruising through downtown Dallas in a replica of JFK’s Lincoln Continental, they followed the precise motorcade path from November 22, 1963, navigating from Dealey Plaza to the grassy knoll and beyond.

Led by local expert Robin Brown of JFK Custom Tours, Dave and Mike delve into one of America’s most debated and mysterious atrocities. From Jack Ruby’s notorious strip club opposite the upscale Adolphus Hotel to the inconsistencies in the Warren Commission’s report and the “magic bullet” hypothesis, the duo cover it all. They question whether Lee Harvey Oswald operated solo, the true movements of the car during the attack, and the curious connections between mob figures and those close to JFK.

In Brown’s opinion, “Oswald had nothing to do with [Kennedy’s assassination].” As they drive past the notorious sixth-floor window of the Texas School Book Depository where Oswald supposedly fired the shots that killed Kennedy, Brown says, “I know where Oswald is when Kennedy arrives, and he's nowhere near that window.”

On the contrary, “there’s a shooting team in that window,” he says. “Kennedy's enemies don't need Oswald to participate in the execution. They need someone to take the blame.”

As the crew passes the building that used to house Jack Ruby’s strip club — the Carousel Club — Brown reveals that the joint was strategically positioned across the street from the Adolphus, Dallas’ most prestigious hotel, so that businessmen looking for “a little trouble” need only to cross the road to find it.

“Is it thought that Ruby was also a CIA operative?” asks Dave.

“That is correct,” says Brown, noting that Ruby’s original name was “Jacob Rubenstein” before he changed it in 1947.

Brown then gives a detailed description of Abraham Zapruder’s camera angles. Zapruder was the Dallas dress manufacturer who filmed the famous 26-second "Zapruder film" capturing President Kennedy’s assassination.

As they pass the very spot where Kennedy was hit with the first bullet, Brown says that Kennedy’s car, which was moving at a “crawling” pace due to the large crowds, continued to move slowly even after he was hit with the first bullet in the throat. It was only after the second shot that the car roared away.

Dave then reveals a gruesome fact he learned on the tour: “After Kennedy was shot, Jackie O. was picking up parts of her husband's skull off the back of the car. She went over to the hospital where they had JFK, with brains in her hand, completely shaken, grief-stricken, and in shock, and asked the doctor, ‘Will this help?’ trying to hand him a bunch of brains that she had collected.”

He then points to the grassy knoll where Zapruder was filming. According to theory, a shadowy figure, often called the"Badge Man," was standing behind the fence on the knoll. Many believe this is who really shot Kennedy.

Mike, standing in the same place as the alleged Badge Man, looks across the street to the giant X marking the spot of the fatal shot. He can’t deny that it’s “an absolute perfect shot.”

Some believe this shadowy figure was notorious Chicago mobster and hit man Charles "Chucky" Nicoletti, who was known for his involvement in numerous gangland murders and strongly suspected to be a CIA informant, while others argue that Nicoletti was in the Texas Book Depository building (where Oswald supposedly was) and operated as a second shooter in a CIA plot to kill the president. The Warren Commission, however, doesn’t even mention Nicoletti in the reports.

“The Warren Commission, what they put out was so ridiculous,” says Dave. “I don’t think anybody believes the real story.”

Standing on the large X in the middle of the street, Dave peers up at the notorious window where Oswald reportedly fired both shots. “It doesn’t make sense,” he says. “Talk about a nightmare on Elm Street.”

Pro-Hamas thugs shut down Israel Summit in Texas with vile threats



Anti-Semitic threats and acts of violence in the U.S. are surging amid the ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestine, fueled by supporters of the terrorist group Hamas.

Such threats pushed organizers of an annual pro-Israel gathering in Texas to abruptly and indefinitely postpone their event.

'The first [summit] was held in Nashville and, ironically, was nearly canceled due to threats from pro-Hamas thugs.'

The Israel Summit — hosted by HaYovel and its media initiative, the Israel Guys — was scheduled to be held in Dallas, Texas, from June 9 to 11.

HaYovel expected to host over 1,000 attendees but instead announced this week that it would postpone the summit, after the organization received numerous threats from American pro-Palestine and pro-Hamas groups.

Luke Hilton, HaYovel's chief operating officer, told Blaze News that the heightened threat levels forced the organization to switch venues twice mere days before the event.

"Indirect and direct threats were issued both against our organization, the Israel Summit, and against the venue who were hosting us," Hilton stated.

The organization estimated that the "overwhelming security burden" would have cost "hundreds of thousands of dollars." HaYovel highlighted the "sobering reality" that "peaceful, pro-Israel gatherings in America increasingly require extraordinary security measures to remain viable."

The second venue, which initially agreed to cover the needed security, pulled the plug days ahead of the event, citing "escalating safety concerns and mounting external pressures," according to HaYovel.

Despite "full cooperation and assistance" from the sheriff's department, the Texas Rangers, and the FBI, the organization felt it had no choice but to postpone the summit.

Hilton revealed further details about the threats to Blaze News, noting that they began with pro-Palestinian activist groups on social media.

"Then, according to law enforcement and intelligence, they moved to the dark web to avoid further detection," he explained. "The threats used language such as 'we need to target' the Israel Summit and the host venue."

"Statements to target any Jew or Christian who is standing with Israel cannot be understood any other way than a direct call for violence," Hilton stated, citing the recent deadly shooting in Washington, D.C., of two Israeli embassy staffers and the terror attack in Boulder, Colorado, that caused multiple injuries.

The organization still hopes to host the event on a new date and at a different venue within the coming months.

Yet, this is not the first time the Israel Summit has faced threats.

"Next week's summit was set to be our second annual event. The first one was held in Nashville and, ironically, was nearly canceled due to threats from pro-Hamas thugs. Dave Ramsey stepped in at the last minute, hosting the summit at his headquarters in Franklin, [Tennessee]," Hilton told Blaze News.

'The ongoing Israel-HAMAS conflict may motivate other violent extremists and hate crime perpetrators with similar grievances to conduct violence against Jewish and Israeli communities and their supporters.'

David Friedman, a former U.S. ambassador to Israel and the founder of One Jewish State, was one of the speakers slated to present at the 2025 Israel Summit. He reacted to its postponement in a post on X.

"This is America in 2025. A pro-Israel conference scheduled for Dallas this week (where I was scheduled to speak), which sold over 1000 tickets, was forced to cancel because of threats from violent Jihadists," Friedman stated. "When [President Donald Trump] says we need to take our country back, this is a good example of what he means!"

Trump had previously pledged to vigorously combat the nation's escalating anti-Semitism by "aggressively" prosecuting terrorist threats against the Jewish community and deporting Hamas sympathizers.

On Thursday, Trump's FBI released a public service announcement regarding elevated threats toward Israeli and Jewish communities, noting the murder of the embassy staffers and the attack in Boulder.

"The ongoing Israel-HAMAS conflict may motivate other violent extremists and hate crime perpetrators with similar grievances to conduct violence against Jewish and Israeli communities and their supporters," the agency warned. "Foreign terrorist organizations also may try to exploit narratives related to the conflict to inspire attacks in the United States. The FBI and DHS therefore urge the public to remain vigilant and to report any threats of violence or suspicious activity to law enforcement."

When reached for comment about the threats posed against the Israel Summit organizers and host venues, the FBI Dallas Field Office told Blaze News, "The FBI works with our law enforcement partners every day to detect and stop acts of targeted violence. Our goal is always to get ahead of threats. We remind members of the public that if you observe any suspicious activity to quickly report it to law enforcement. The FBI remains committed to working with our partners to protect our communities against acts of violence and other threats."

Hilton called the escalating anti-Semitic threats a "wake-up call for Americans."

"We believe that this is a wake-up call for Americans to take action and come together to publicly stand with Israel and the Jewish people in the U.S. today," he told Blaze News.

The Dallas County Sheriff's Department, the Dallas Police Department, and the Tarrant County Sheriff's Office did not respond to a request for comment from Blaze News.

Islamic city planned for Texas hires ex-Paxton attorney to defuse Sharia law concerns



Texas Governor Greg Abbott (R) in late March directed the Texas Rangers, the Texas State Securities Board, and the Texas Workforce Commission to launch investigations into the East Plano Islamic Center concerning its plans to develop a Muslim-centric city on 402 acres near Josephine, roughly 40 miles outside Dallas.

The development would reportedly feature a mosque, a K-12 faith-based school, an outreach center, commercial developments, sports facilities, and 1,000 homes, townhomes, and apartments.

'There definitely could be an argument that there's conflict because I'm still being represented by him and he's representing clients that we are investigating.'

The proposed city has ignited fears within the surrounding community that it will implement Sharia law and potentially ultimately lead to a "no-go zone."

State investigations

Abbott has repeatedly expressed concerns about the planned community.

In February, Abbott stated in a post on social media, "To be clear, Sharia law is not allowed in Texas. Nor are Sharia cities. Nor are 'no go zones' which this project seems to imply."

"Bottom line. The project as proposed in the video is not allowed in Texas," the governor concluded, referring to EPIC's promotional clip advertising the plans.

The Texas Funeral Service Commission sent a cease-and-desist letter to EPIC in March, demanding that it "immediately stop all illegal funeral service operations."

According to Abbott, EPIC had been operating a funeral home without an established license in violation of state law.

Abbott announced on April 1 that EPIC "may not begin construction" on its community, stating that the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality discovered it had failed to obtain required "authorizations or permits."

The governor insisted that EPIC City "has serious legal issues" and announced that a dozen state agencies are looking into the proposed community.

The governor tasked the Texas Rangers with investigating EPIC "for potential criminal activities." The Texas Workforce Commission is probing "potential discrimination in violation of the Texas Fair Housing Act." The Texas State Securities Board is looking into any "potential financial harm to Texans." Additionally, state Attorney General Ken Paxton is examining "potential violations of Texas consumer protection laws."

"Texas vigorously safeguards the freedoms granted to American citizens in the U.S. Constitution, including the freedom of religion," Abbott said. "To that end, the Texas Workforce Commission opened an investigation into the group behind the proposed EPIC compound who are potentially breaking state fair housing laws by refusing to sell or rent housing to certain groups based on religion or other protected traits."

Texans share concerns

The RAIR Foundation USA was among the first to begin sounding the alarm about EPIC and its proposed city.

Amy Mek, the founder and editor in chief of the RAIR Foundation, warned that the project is not just "a housing development."

"It's the expansion of a Sharia-controlled society, starting with the radical school already operating at the EPIC Mosque in Plano, Texas," Mek wrote. "Now, EPIC is scaling up — EPIC City will operate with no city oversight, no state-controlled curriculum, and no accountability to American laws."

'No one associated with EPIC … follows Sharia law or is in favor of Sharia law.'

Many residents in Blue Ridge, a city roughly 20 miles away from Josephine, voiced their concerns about the proposed development during a recent city council meeting.

Douglas Deaton, a former police lieutenant in Plano, stated that a Sharia law enclave existed in Texas long before EPIC proposed its city plans.

"There seems to be a general misunderstanding that we're talking about a plan to build an Islamic, Sharia-friendly community. The EPIC neighborhood already exists in Plano. It's been there for nearly 12 years. With 74 residential properties, a massive mosque, schools, a medical clinic, and multiple businesses," he told the city council. "You have to be a member of their mosque to live there."

"This is not a matter of radicals hiding in plain sight; they're not hiding. They've been open about their beliefs and their intent," Deaton added.

On Wednesday, Paxton spoke with Blaze Media co-founder Glenn Beck about the governor's actions against EPIC, revealing interesting new details about the controversy.

"We're not going to sacrifice [our constitution] for Sharia law. It's just not going to happen in Texas," Paxton told Beck. "At the same time, we want to be cognizant that people have a right to have their own religion, and we respect that."

Paxton explained that the community cannot discriminate against potential residents based on religion, noting that doing so would violate housing laws.

He stated that he recently learned that the attorney representing EPIC City's developers, Dan Cogdell, is the same lawyer who previously defended him against impeachment. Paxton was acquitted of all charges in 2023.

The AG called it "a little concerning" that he was not made aware of that fact sooner.

"There definitely could be an argument that there's conflict because I'm still being represented by him and he's representing clients that we are investigating," Paxton told Beck.

EPIC responds

EPIC has denied claims that its proposed community will disregard state and federal laws to implement Sharia law.

Cogdell accused Abbott of spreading lies about the planned city, claiming that the project is "the victim of racial profiling."

"These aren't foreign adversaries. These are Texans. These are Americans. These are United States citizens," Cogdell told KTVT last week. "No one associated with EPIC, no one associated with that community follows Sharia law or is in favor of Sharia law."

Cogdell had a message for Abbott.

"Quit tweeting lies, false information, and nonsense. Because my clients right now, what they are doing is they are suffering from essentially gubernatorial hate speech," he stated.

Cogdell reportedly told KTVK that his clients have received "dozens of death threats." As a result, the developers were "too scared to go on camera," according to the news outlet.

When reached for comment, the governor's office referred KTVK to previously released statements.

Beck was offered an opportunity to speak with the project's developer on Thursday, only to discover that Cogdell had been tapped to talk on their behalf. Upon realizing this, Beck canceled, insisting that he wanted a candid conversation with the developer, not the attorney. The developer signaled interest in rescheduling for next week.

During Thursday's radio show, Beck stated, "I got an email from somebody who said, 'You know, you should talk to the developer directly.'"

The email read, "Given the amount of misinformation circulating, it might be beneficial to speak directly with the landowner developer to ensure accuracy."

"So I said yes to that on the program," Beck stated. "Then I find out that it's the lawyer. Well, what happened to the directly to the landowner developer? So they said he'll be prepared for our conversation sometime next week."

"I don't have anything bad to say about the developer if it's all on the up and up," he added. "It's just, there's some things about this, the people that are engaged in it, that are a little disturbing."

The developer did not respond to a request for comment from Blaze News.

Shocking voter-fraud risk: Dallas County ballots allegedly accessible online



Barry Wernick, a Republican running for Texas House District 108, reported Tuesday that he filed a complaint with the Texas secretary of state against the Dallas County Elections Department after he claimed he found his actual ballot posted online.

Wernick, endorsed by former President Donald Trump, shared the news on X, explaining how he made the shocking discovery.

'Irreparable damage may have already been done.'

According to Wernick, he went to the DCED's website to view his sample ballot and was redirected to the Clarity Elections portal.

Clarity Elections is an election night reporting portal that is operated by SOE Software.

"After clicking on the link & being transferred to the Clarity Elections portal, instead of seeing a sample ballot, I viewed a downloadable & printable .pdf file of my actual die-cut mail-in ballot with a colored stamp of the initials (HG) of Election Administrator Heider Garcia," Wernick stated.

Wernick shared a screenshot of Garcia's initials at the bottom of the ballot. He noted that the online ballot's markings were consistent with an actual ballot and not a sample.

The images of the online ballot were "not locked, encrypted, or watermarked in any way," Wernick added.

He called for the DCED to immediately take the ballots offline.

"Because there is no law against publishing an actual mail-in ballot, anyone with access to a registered voter's legal first name and last name and the same voter's birth date could easily and legally print out or digitally manipulate that voter's ballot," he continued. "Then that person could illegally and potentially surreptitiously inject it into the system thereby disenfranchising and diluting my vote, in this instance, and any other registered voter's vote without getting caught."

Wernick added, "Irreparable damage may have already been done. But enjoining Dallas County Elections Department from publishing this information could mitigate any future potential damage to our election system."

Blaze News replicated the process Wernick used to access his ballot by using another Texas voter's information. The results were identical: The ballot displayed online lacked a "sample" watermark, included timing marks, and featured Garcia's initials at the bottom, just like Wernick's.

Rick Weible, who appeared in Dinesh D'Souza's documentary "Vindicating Trump" and has repeatedly attempted to expose the vulnerabilities of the Election Systems & Software accumulator, said, "This ballot can be printed and used for swaps and injections ... no timing marks or initials should be on any sample ballot."

In a statement to Blaze News, the Texas secretary of state said, “I cannot speak to any formal election complaints because that information is considered private.”

“I can point out that printing a sample ballot does not provide a means for it to be inserted into the election process as there are checks for ballots both for in-person voting and voting by mail. There is not a way for voters to use a sample ballot in place of a regular ballot,” the secretary of state added.

The Dallas County Elections Department and SOE Software did not respond to a request for comment.

A woman fired a gun at Dallas Love Field airport. A police officer with a gun stopped her



A police officer shot and wounded an armed woman who fired a handgun inside Dallas Love Field airport on Monday morning.

Flights in Dallas, Texas, were put on hold after a woman identified as 37-year-old Portia Odufuwa opened fire at the ceiling, according to the Dallas Morning News.

The suspected shooter was dropped off at the airport at about 11 a.m., proceeded inside near the ticketing counters and went into a bathroom, Dallas police Chief Eddie Garcia said at a news conference. The woman then emerged wearing a hooded sweatshirt, pulled out a handgun, aimed the weapon at the ceiling, and fired several times, Garcia told reporters.

An officer at the scene responded quickly, shooting at the armed woman and hitting her "lower extremities," police said. The suspect was taken into custody and transported to a nearby hospital.

“No other individuals were injured in this event other than the suspect,” Garcia said.

Travelers at the airport reportedly scattered and took cover when the shooting began, according to video posted to social media.

\u201c@DallasLoveField what just happened? A group of people were running and yelling \u201crun\u201d 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\u201d
— Johnny Mojica (@Johnny Mojica) 1658766461


Police have not yet determined the shooter's motive.

“We wanted to ensure that our community knows that this is not an active situation,” the police chief said.

Dallas City Council member Jesse Moreno said the suspect was in stable condition in a statement released shortly before 2 p.m., the Dallas Morning News reported.

“I’m thankful to the Dallas police department, (the Transportation Security Administration) and the dedicated Love Field staff for their swift response in keeping people safe,” Moreno said. “This is something they do every day for people who travel to and from Dallas.”

A spokeswoman for Love Field told the Associated Press that airport operations were suspended Monday afternoon and would resume when authorities had completed their investigation.

"At approximately 11:23 am. Monday, July 25, the Dallas Police Department reported and immediately responded to shots fired in the Dallas Love Field terminal. An evacuation and shelter-in-place commenced as DPD investigated, confirmed, and neutralized the single, shooter threat," the airport tweeted at 3:03 p.m. ET.

At 4:43 p.m. ET, the airport announced that operations had resumed.

A spokesman for Southwest Airlines, which uses Love Field as a hub, told the AP the airline canceled most of its flights that were scheduled to depart or arrive at Love Filed before 6 p.m. CDT. Southwest reportedly canceled 85 flights at Love Field on Monday, according to the flight tracking website FlightAware.
