Dallas police are investigating reports of gunshots at Dallas Love Field airport. 

"There is a report of shots being fired at the Dallas Love Field Airport. Dallas police are investigating," the Dallas Police Department told Insider. 

The department's public information officer is currently en route to the airport "in response to reports of shots being fired," the Dallas PD tweeted.

 

Dallas Love Field Airport did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment. 

The TSA declined to comment on the reports of gunfire but said its staff were "working to get travelers through [the] airport security checkpoint and in from the heat."

Travelers at the scene posted on social media that they were told to take cover in the airport from a suspected shooter. 

One traveler, Michael Loewinsohn, told Insider he had just arrived in Dallas when he saw a "massive" amount of people running from a security checkpoint yelling "shooter."

"TSA employees rushed us out of a side door and just started sprinting away from the building," Loewinsohn said. "We are now outside in between the building and the tarmac and we're just told there was a shooter and we are going to need to stay outside for a bit."

Others in the airport posted photos and videos of travelers taking cover and being ushered out of the airport. 

 

"A group of people were running and yelling 'run' and we all immediately took cover," one user said. 

Rockwall, Texas Police Chief Max Geron, who was at the scene, said he was evacuated out of the airport upon reports of an active shooter.
