DEVELOPING – Multiple suspects with automatic weapons opened fire on police officers outside Dallas Police headquarters early Saturday morning, before one man fled the scene in an armored van, leading police on a chase that ended in an ongoing standoff at a nearby parking lot where additional shots were fired. Police also reported finding two explosive devices near police headquarters. The pipe bombs detonated as they were being handled by an Explosive Ordinance Robot. Police said other suspicious packages have been cleared. Nearby residents were evacuated as a precaution. Dallas Police Chief David Brown said the shootout began about 12:30 a.m. local time when the suspects pulled up to the building 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 the chase that ended at the parking lot. Brown says negotiations are ongoing with the suspect in the van. The has told police that he is injured, but authorities cannot confirm any injuries, Fox4News.com reported. #breaking As the Explosive Ordinance Robot attempted to move one of the bags @DallasPD HQ, the bag exploded on its own #DallasPDShooting Police said conflicting witness accounts made it difficult to immediately determine how many shooters were involved and authorities were trying to determine a motive. Brown said the suspect driving the van has told officers that he blames police for losing custody of his son and “accusing him of being a terrorist.” The gunman also said he had explosives in the van, which appeared to be outfitted with gun ports in the sides. Brown says negotiations are going on with the suspect in the van. One of the suspects has told police that he is injured, but authorities cannot confirm any injuries, Fox4News.com reported. Brown said, based on witness accounts, as many as four suspects may have been involved in the original shooting, including some who may have been positioned at elevated positions. Police couldn’t confirm how many shooters were involved and where any additional suspects may be located. Police later found two more suspicious packages. One was found in a dumpster and another underneath a police truck in the parking lot. #BREAKING We are also investigating a suspicious package in a dumpster at the Northeast Substation #DallasPDShooting

More mentally ill cop hating nuts... providing LE JOB SECURITY. And the police gain 3 more politicians that support militarized equipment to control the animals. Every society gets the kind of criminal it deserves. What is equally true is that every community gets the kind of law enforcement it insists on. Robert Kennedy
I thought it was just semi-auto gunfire. How embarrassing for the PD that they accused this misunderstood father of being a terrorist.
May some of those Waco bikers getting their revenge, perhaps??? Some people march to a different drummer - and some people POLKA.
Obama limits police access to military-style equipment. Police Argue Military Equipment Makes Them Safer, No Matter Cost To Community Relations.
Update: Standoff follows Dallas police headquarters shooting as bomb squad destroys explosives.
When the smoke clears, I predict it will be Deckards doppelgänger, IMHO. Every society gets the kind of criminal it deserves. What is equally true is that every community gets the kind of law enforcement it insists on. Robert Kennedy
Gee, I guess one of those FREE, outdated armored military vehicles would have been dandy to end this little domestic terror... ops, I forgot. That would make us a "police state".

The pipe bombs detonated as they were being handled by an Explosive Ordinance Robot authorities were trying to determine a motive. A slightly improved version of Fast & Furious. We'll have to confiscate all of your guns because of these FBI false flag retards. It's for OFFICER SAFETY. We need more money for toys... robots, drones, machine guns, LRAD, MRAP, pepper balls, tear gas, and other tools of oppression. It's for your safety. The motive of this FBI/Fusion Center operation is to spread tyranny, far and wide. Decrease Justice Department/LEO funding, until these false flag operations cease. The gunfire shown was not automatic weapons fire.
same Ol' garbage... Ferguson animals won't riot... and when they do, the government dressed up in Baggie pants and Guy Fawks masks, so they can create a "police state" I guess your propaganda can be expected... Since you anti cop and government folks refuse to blame your peers for their actions, you might as well make up a conspiracy theory when your peers act like animals. Every society gets the kind of criminal it deserves. What is equally true is that every community gets the kind of law enforcement it insists on. Robert Kennedy
The Sheeple believe the hysterical liberals at Fox News, you're not going to be able to confuse them with the facts! The problem with GrandIsland is he is too busy with doughnut hoarding, koffee slurping and basically waddling around in his underwear to even care or notice.
I thought Gatlin said he went commando??
“Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rapidly promoted by mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.”
It would have been nice to have had one there when his armored van smashed into the police cruiser.
Your thought once again proves that your warped mind thinks irrationally. Do you ever have moments of sanity?
Deckard hasn't posted this morning.
Seems to me that DPS is handling this "armored van" and driver fine without military assault vehicles. And the van wasn't so armored if the perp is claiming he was injured. Beyond that, how many times has any sort of armored vehicle been used to commit a crime in this country? It is vanishingly rare. I doubt you can cite another instance. The greater threat from this guy were the bombs but it seems he was incompetent with bomb placement as well. A stupid plan by a stupid man which will end stupidly. Now all that remains is to find out if the FBI or one of their agentes provocateur put him up to doing this or supplied him explosives/guns/ammo for his actions.
True. But he adorns his neck with about 50,000 primers, all connected together to show his own so-called "toughness." He is akin to a fading TV star or superhero, called Mr T but a bit misplaced in tyme, space and denaro.
Way to go, SWAT! Paraphrasing: And the police lose one more "friend."
Interesting angle. What regular type of loon can afford an armored van that probably get 8 miles per gallon?
Maybe we should wait to find out if it really is an armored van. I suppose he might have bought an old van from an armored car company. Some of them are just vans making cash runs to local merchants, not armored trucks used at banks. So there are vans that are considered armored, at least partially. But there aren't that many of them around.
Way to go, SWAT! Paraphrasing: And the police lose one more "friend." They might not get a Christmas card from this dead pile of domestic terrorist shit... but he did provide years and years of LE job security and increased equipment budgets FOR YEARS TO COME. lol Every society gets the kind of criminal it deserves.

Seems to me that the 50-caliber round the police sniper put through his windshield to take him out came from a military surplus weapon. And I guess the police would have rather been in or behind MRAPs than their police cruisers while they were taking fire from him. But then, what do I know....I wasn't the one being shot at.
Hey GI, how about giving us an update. Were the ahole perps captured, or what? I guess their main grievance was that "momma didn't bake them cookies", or some such BS. Keep us posted.
Si vis pacem, para bellum
Now it's a "lone gunman" and they killed the guy so we'll never know who his accomplices were... That's Dallas for you... they did the same thing over 50 years ago and we've had hundreds of conspiracy theories ever since. Some people march to a different drummer - and some people POLKA.
Thanks for the update. I don't see that headline elsewhere yet.
I don't have any LE "ins" on this story. On this, I'll get my updates like all of you. Gatlin seems to see the updates faster than I. I'll try and get in touch with Leo's in Texas, on Facebook, to see if they've heard any inside scoops from their peers. Every society gets the kind of criminal it deserves. What is equally true is that every community gets the kind of law enforcement it insists on. Robert Kennedy
I was watching live coverage on CNN while eating my breakfast... Some people march to a different drummer - and some people POLKA.
Thanks again. I wonder what they'll tell his kid or kids. I thought it was about losing custody of one son.
Thanks for the info
Si vis pacem, para bellum
Thanks. Hopefully if the ahole had any accomplices they will be captured or terminated. Glad no good guys were injured.
Si vis pacem, para bellum

In a press conference, Dallas Police Chief David Brown said that a Dallas SWAT sniper shot the suspect through the front windshield and that police were working to identify the person inside the vehicle and whether they had killed him.

I don't see that headline elsewhere yet.
Apparently a sniper shot him just before I turned it on, and they had a robot trying to knock-out the windshield so they could look inside... the newscasters were commenting that previous reports of accomplices were probably wrong because of different 911 reports coming in from different witnesses/bystanders with different vantage points... it looks like it's just one guy who's pissed-off at the police because he has an ongoing gripe about a custody battle over his kids.
