A suspect began shooting at Dallas Police Headquarters with automatic weapons about 12:30 a.m. CDT. Initially police thought up to four offenders were assaulting police headquarters, but police Saturday morning believe that only one suspect was directly involved.
Police returned fire and the suspect got into a vehicle described by witnesses as an armored van, which rammed a patrol car and then fled the scene. Police pursued the van to the parking lot of a Jack In The Box in Hutchins, about 12 miles south of Dallas, where they later “disabled” the van.
Several suspicious bags, at least one that exploded while an Explosive Ordinance Robot attempted removal, were discovered near police headquarters.
