Gunmen Attack Dallas Police Headquarters in Texas
June 13th, 2015Suspect Shot Dead by Police Sniper

The gunman who riddled Dallas police headquarters with gunfire early Saturday and planted pipe bombs is believed to be dead after being shot by a sniper.
After leading officers on a 10-mile chase in an armored van, the sniper opened fire through a windshield after parking near a Jack-in-the-Box restaurant in the town of Hutchins, located about 12 miles south of Dallas, Police Chief David Brown said.
Brown said police feared the gunman, who had fired repeatedly at officers, would try again and could hit a nearby neighborhood. Negotiations deteriorated into “rants” from the gunman — who became “increasingly angry and threatening” — over a child custody issue before talks broke off altogether, police said.
“He expressed that he had C-4 (military grade explosives) on the van,” Brown said. “That’s our biggest concern. We don’t want to call his bluff.”

Multiple gunmen toting automatic weapons opened fire on officers outside Dallas Police headquarters early Saturday morning, before one man fled the scene being chased by police in what witnesses described as an armoured van.
Dallas Police Chief David Brown told reporters that witnesses said as many as four suspects were involved in the incident, which began around 12.30 am (local time) when the suspects parked in front of the building located south of downtown and began firing.
He said at least one of the suspects fled the scene in a van that rammed a police cruiser before leading police on a chase that ended in an ongoing standoff at parking lot in Hutchins, where additional gunfire was exchanged.
