An Erie, Pa. woman is facing local weapons charges after she was arrested by police after Transportation Security Administration officers stopped her from bringing a loaded semi-automatic handgun onto an airplane at Buffalo-Niagara International Airport on Wednesday. The woman, who was not identified, was caught with a 9 mm handgun in one of her carry-on bags. It was loaded with six bullets. Wednesday's gun catch was the first gun caught at the airport so far this year. In 2017, TSA officers detected three firearms in carry-on bags at the airport in Buffalo.
