Well, the shame and embarrassnent might be bad, but the money is pretty shady too.

A Southwest Airlines flight with passengers onboard was struck by gunfire as it was preparing to take off at Dallas Love Field Airport in Texas, authorities said.

Flight 2494 was preparing for departure to Indianapolis when "a bullet apparently struck the right side of the aircraft under the flight deck", a Southwest spokesperson told the BBC's US partner, CBS News.

No injuries were reported, and the aircraft returned to its gate and passengers deplaned, according to an airport spokesperson.

That airplane plumb annoyed me, so I filled the critter with lead!
