No injuries were reported, the spokesperson said. One bullet went through the cockpit, sources tell WFAA. Police believe the shooting was a result of random gunfire, sources say.

What makes the calculation of a bullet’s flight path so complicated, is that almost all the elements that contribute to the computation are variables. With external ballistics, constants are few.

The Dallas Police Department said it responded to the shooting at about 9:48 p.m. at 8000 Herb Kelleher Way. A police source confirmed to WFAA that 99 people were aboard the flight when it was hit.
