Spirit Airlines flight from Florida hit by gunfire while trying to land in Haiti

After arriving in the Dominican Republic, an inspection found evidence of damage to the aircraft that was consistent with gunfire.

While none of the guests on board were injured, one flight attendant on the aircraft reported minor injuries and was being evaluated by medical personnel.

The aircraft has since been taken out of service and Spirit is arranging for a different plane to take guests and crew back to Fort Lauderdale.

"The safety of our guests and team members is our top priority, and we have suspended our service at Port-au-Prince (PAP) and Cap-Haitien (CAP) pending further evaluation," the airline said in a statement.

"The security situation in Haiti is unpredictable and dangerous," the U.S. Embassy said. "Travel within Haiti is conducted at your own risk."

The embassy suggested those considering traveling in Haiti to consider their personal safety first.

The safety warnings come on the same day Haitian Prime Minister Garry Conille was removed from office after just six months in the role.
