A flight attendant with a permit to carry a handgun forgot to leave
her weapon at home Sunday morning, leading to the accidental discharge
of the gun by a police officer at Philadelphia International Airport.
The flight attendant, who is an employee of Republic Airlines, which
operates US Airways Express flights out of Philadelphia, put her handbag
on the X-ray machine conveyor belt as she went through the routine
security check about 6:30 a.m. at Terminal C, said Jim Fotenos,
spokesman for the Transportation Security Administration.
TSA officers noticed the gun and alerted Philadelphia police
officers, who responded quickly, police spokesman Lt. Ray Evers said.
A female police officer, whom the department declined to name, tried
to make the weapon safe by removing the bullets but instead accidentally
fired it, Evers said. The bullet that was discharged hit the ground and
did not injure anyone
