Policewoman foils Louisville airport hijacking
Policewoman Marty Green earned praise for subduing a 17 year old gunman identified as Dennis Durkin of Pittsburgh who fired shotgun blasts in the Louisville airport terminal and held hostage a mechanic aboard a parked DC-4 airliner. Durkin demanded a plane to fly to Moscow as he threatened to shoot. Green made five trips to the aircraft before grabbing Durkin on the fifth approach, causing him to tumble to the ground and allowing officers to seize him. No one was seriously hurt among about 200 witnesses in the terminal during the three hour incident.
