She talked to parking employees and people were walking away from the airport. All said there was a shooting and one woman said she saw someone being taken away in an ambulance.
The woman also said she saw a car that was “all shot up," but other witnesses told FOX 4's James Rose that the suspect was throwing rocks at the car.
Photos from the scene show a black car roped off with crime scene tape just outside the baggage claim area. The front driver window and rear windshield appear to be shattered.
A spokesman for the airport would only say that people are being kept away from the baggage area and that police are responding.
The airport is reportedly on lockdown and no flights are departing. TSA is re-screening all passengers.

Shooting at Dallas Love Field airport caught on harrowing video
A police officer shot a man outside the baggage claim area of the Dallas Love Field airport in Dallas, Texas.
The shooting was first reported at the airport on Twitter around 12:15 p.m. on Friday afternoon on Twitter.
A smartphone video that captured the shooting shows a police officer at the airport pointing his gun after gunshots can be heard firing.
“Get down!” the man shouted repeatedly with his weapon pointed.
The Dallas Police Department said that the incident began as a domestic violence situation where a man assaulted a woman, causing an officer to intervene, according to a local reporter.
The man reportedly charged the officer with a rock in hand. Witnesses told WFAA that the man shouted "shoot me, shoot me" to the officer.
A woman was reportedly trampled in the commotion following the gunshots.

The gates to the airport were locked for security, and no cars are being allowed in or out.
