DALLAS (AP) - Authorities say a Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport police officer who was off-duty accidentally shot himself in the leg while adjusting his holster.

Fort Worth police say they were called to a home early Sunday morning regarding the incident.

The injured officer, whose name wasn’t released, was taken to a nearby hospital in good condition.



Airport spokesman David Magana (mah-GAHN’-yah) says the officer expects to be discharged Tuesday. Magana says airport officials will review the Fort Worth police report to determine if any administrative action is necessary.
