The suspect could face additional federal charges for allegedly opening fire at Dallas Love Field Airport on Monday.
Garcia identified the officer Tuesday as a 15-year veteran, who responded as soon as the suspect began shooting and gave multiple verbal commands to her while verbally guiding bystanders to safety. Garcia commended the officer's bravery and courage, saying he saved countless lives.
During Tuesday's press conference, police presented surveillance video and body camera footage from the incident. The footage shows the suspect exit a car, enter the terminal, go into a bathroom, leave the bathroom and begin to shoot. She is eventually shot by the officer, closely matching both earlier updates from police and eyewitness statements.
The gun used in the shooting was not registered to the suspect, who, according to police, has been prohibited from possessing a firearm since 2018. It is not clear how she obtained the firearm. Police also confirmed she had several prior interactions with law enforcement, including a 2019 arrest for an alleged bank robbery in Wylie, Texas, a 2019 arrest for alleged arson and a 2020 apprehension after which she was transported for a mental health evaluation.
