    Shots fired at Dallas police HQ

    Any of you US lot have more (up to date) info?

    Shots have been fired from an armoured vehicle at the police headquarters in Dallas, Texas, police say.
    The vehicle drove off, pursued by dozens of police cars, and is now involved in a stand-off in a car park, officials said.
    There has been an exchange of gunfire in the car park, they added.
    A bag left outside the police station was later confirmed to contain explosives including pipe bombs, police said on Twitter.
    The motive for the shooting is not yet clear.
    Dallas police say no police officers have been injured.

    local.

    Also, their facebook which I follow has this:

    BREAKING: From DPD News Conference -
    • Four bags left outside DPD headquarters. One is confirmed to have explosives.
    • Dallas Police is in the process of evacuating residents from South Side on Lamar apartments, which is across from DPD HQ.
    • Suspect in shooting told negotiators the department "took his child" and "accused him of being a terrorist"
    • No DPD officers have been injured, despite multiple exchanges of gunfire and ramming squad cars by suspect

    Also, press conference just ended so more info may be coming shortly. As I live in the DFW area, I can keep up to date since I cant sleep for shit tonight.

    and before someone goddamn says it: the race isnt known so STFU.

    Firing shots at not only police, but driving down to their headquarters opening fire from an armored vehicle and leaving explosives. Well, whoever is all involved is certainly not long for this world.

    That was my initial thought. There has to be a lot going on with this. Can't just be a single pissed of guy wanting to vent. Bombs, armored vehicles and firearms needs heavy planning really.

    Race is irrelevant in this tbh. Black/white/purple this guy seems a bit fucked up

    I know, but knowing some of the people here, they'd say something race related anyways. preemptively shutting them up.

    Im personally betting on anti govt militia type that finally cracked.

    Homegrown terrorism?

    Honestly; hope things calm down for America re: cops vs The People, and that this is the hight of the 'escalation'. Things have gone too far, it seems.

    Police believe there could be as many as four suspects involved in the attack, based on eyewitness reports.

    I would have to search through my history but in comment sections multiple people on another article was saying it was some white guy with explosives in his van. Go out in style I guess.

    So in response to 'false' accusation of being a terrorist, he.. becomes a terrorist?

    No it doesnt make him a terrorist, it makes him a criminal.
    His agenda seems purely out of revenge.
    But soon after Mr Xi secured a third term, Apple released a new version of the feature in China, limiting its scope. Now Chinese users of iPhones and other Apple devices are restricted to a 10-minute window when receiving files from people who are not listed as a contact. After 10 minutes, users can only receive files from contacts.
    Apple did not explain why the update was first introduced in China, but over the years, the tech giant has been criticised for appeasing Beijing.

    His actions are those of a terrorist. That pretty much makes him one.

    Uh?
    So then every armed bank robbery is terrorism then cos the robbers incite fear into the employers and customers and maybe shoot a guard.
    The info given yet points to a criminal with a severe grudge at the police, not some terrorists.

    Terrorism gets way to abused and used inappropriately way too often.

    Well the van was black for a reason! Clearly race has something to do with it /s

    Well let see here he fired on police, he set 4 explosives and according to the BBC link
    The motive for the shooting is not yet clear. Dallas police say no police officers have been injured.
    These persons are the biggest failures of the year.


    Don't get me wrong, I am glad nobody was killed that includes the police.


    Like most criminals, these morons are failures. Their reward is now being chased down by angry cops, who all want to put a bullets in their asses. They will be lucky none survive to probably be mocked for the rest of their lives.
