Hole in US Airways plane was caused by a bullet, sources say

A hole in a US Airways jet that landed in Charlotte, North Carolina, was caused by a bullet that pierced the passenger cabin, three government sources told CNN March 29. Officials believe the bullet was fired in Charlotte, after passengers had exited the aircraft, one source said. The hole was discovered after the Boeing 737-400 landed March 28. The sources said a bullet has been recovered inside the plane. “We do not believe it is terrorism related,” one of the government sources said. “It appears to be a random event. We do not believe the plane was targeted. No one heard the bullet fired.” An investigation into who fired the shot into the aircraft has begun, multiple government sources said.
