The FBI is investigating several suspicious holes that appear to be bullet holes found on a U.S. Airways plane after it landed at Orlando International Airport, Local 6 News has learned.
According to a police report obtained exclusively by Local 6 News, an Orlando baggage handler discovered the holes before unloading luggage form the Airbus aircraft earlier this week.
The flight being investigated originated in San Francisco and had a stop in Charlotte before landing in Orlando, according to the report.
The Orlando Airport Authority and the FBI confirm knowledge of the suspicious incident.
The FBI said they were "notified by airline officials and the Orlando Police Department that they have reason to believe these are what looked like bullet holes" on the rear section of the plane's body, Local 6 News reported.
An FBI spokeswoman said based on the agency's investigation, "We know it didn't happen in Orlando and we need to determine if they are even bullet hole."
Sources told Local 6 News that the FBI is in Charlotte Friday tearing apart the plane to learn more about the suspicious holes, Local 6 News reported.
No passengers were injured on the flight.
U.S. Airways would not comment on the incident.
