Spirit Airlines flight hit by gunfire while approaching Haiti's Port-au-Prince, Miami Herald reports

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Nov 11 (Reuters) - A Spirit Airlines ( SAVE )

flight attempting to land in Haitian capital Port-au-Prince was

struck by gunfire on Monday, forcing it to be diverted to the

Dominican Republic, the Miami Herald reported.

A flight attendant was grazed by a bullet, the Herald

reported, citing a source. All flights in and out of the

Toussaint Louverture International Airport in Port-au-Prince

have been halted, according to the Herald.

Spirit did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for

comment.

Photos circulating on social media, which Reuters was not

able to immediately verify, showed where a bullet hole had

pierced the belly of the plane.

Another unverified video, which appears to have been

taken by a Spirit employee, shows where another bullet had come

through near the back exit door to then strike the overhead bin

across the aisle.
