The article was updated to state a suspect is in custody, but no further details have been released.

He was supposedly spouting anti-government rhetoric. Sounds like possibly a wacko.

EDIT TO ADD: I guess if you are willing to take pot-shots at a fire truck it probably puts you in that category automatically.

Ambushing first responders is no way of getting sympathy for your cause.

Yeah, pretty much so. Apparently he was claiming to be a "Sovereign "Citizen" according to an earlier report on WFAA Ch8. And, on the 10pm news, they did show video of one of DFR's trucks that had a bullet hole in one of the chromed tire frames (or whatever you call the chrome around the body cutout for the tire).
