Dallas Police Chief: suspect in Headquarters shooting confirmed dead
A man planted pipe bombs outside of Dallas' police headquarters early Saturday before opening fire on the building and officers who tried to stop him, spraying the building and a squad car with bullets during a wild street battle but injuring no one.
After cornering the fleeing suspect's van in the parking lot of a fast-food restaurant in the suburb of Hutchins, a police sniper shot and killed him after it was determined he still posed enough of a threat, police Chief David Brown said.
Authorities said they wouldn't release his identity until a medical examiner had confirmed it. At a news conference before they confirmed his death, Brown said the gunman had identified himself as James Boulware and had said he blamed police for having lost custody of his son and for "accusing him of being a terrorist." He later cautioned that it was possible the suspect didn't give his real name.
Authorities said it was remarkable that no one else was killed or injured in the attack.
