Gunman dead after firing on Dallas police outside headquarters
“Some officers say we were lucky, I believe we’re blessed that our officers survived this ordeal,” the chief told reporters.
A crazed gunman armed with an automatic weapon and a shotgun fired on officers outside Dallas Police Headquarters early Saturday morning before being shot by a police sniper following an hours-long standoff.
Authorities later confirmed the suspect was dead.
Dallas Police Chief David Brown said at a press conference that the gunman ranted in a 911 call after the attack about killing cops and came within seconds of doing so in the case of several officers in the line fire.
