Spirit Airlines flight attendant injured after plane to Haiti struck by gunfire

Port-au-Prince, Haiti – A Spirit Airlines flight attendant was injured after a plane to Haiti was struck by gunfire upon landing at the Toussaint Louverture International Airport on Saturday.

The flight, which had originated in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, was carrying 102 passengers and seven crew members. The flight attendant, whose name has not been released, was struck in the leg by a bullet. She was taken to a local hospital for treatment and is in stable condition.

The incident occurred at approximately 8:30 p.m. local time. The plane was taxiing to the gate when it was struck by gunfire. The source of the gunfire is still under investigation.

Spirit Airlines released a statement saying that it is "deeply concerned" about the safety of its passengers and crew. The airline said that it is working with local authorities to investigate the incident.

The U.S. Embassy in Haiti has issued a security alert, warning U.S. citizens to be aware of the potential for violence in Haiti. The embassy said that travelers should avoid large gatherings and be aware of their surroundings.

Haiti has been plagued by violence in recent months. In July, President Jovenel Moïse was assassinated, and the country has been struggling with political instability ever since.
