Travel Back On Time After Love Field Shooting

Arrivals and departures all listed as on time and travelers were moving through security at a normal pace

Travelers were back on their way and life was back to normal at Dallas Love Field Saturday after a scary incident at the airport the day before.

A man who used landscaping rocks to smash car windows and threaten the mother of his children was shot several times outside the terminal after lunging at a police officer, police said.

The suspect, identified as 29-year-old Shawn Nicholas Diamond, of Edgewood, Maryland, was transported to Parkland Memorial Hospital in Dallas where he remained in stable condition Saturday afternoon.

Police said that Diamond is being charged with aggravated assault and assault family violence, according to The Associated Press.

The shooting Friday resulted in travel delays, but by Saturday morning arrivals and departures were listed as on time and travelers were moving through security at a normal rate.

Though many said they had arrived early not knowing what awaited them at the airport after the incident.

Milcah Baraona flew in Saturday morning from Chicago Midway and said she nearly cancelled her flight when the situation was unfolding.

"It was super terrifying because I actually thought, maybe I should cancel the flight, just had no idea what was going on,” said Baraona. "As soon as we got here, everything was just, our fears were totally calmed."

NBC 5 discovered that Diamond was arrested in Carrollton on Tuesday and released from the Denton County Jail on Friday.

Police said the woman involved in the domestic incident Friday was not injured.
