Crazy stuff going on...

The man has identified himself as James Boulware, 50, who has a history of family violence and blames authorities for his losing custody of his son, Dallas police Chief David Brown said. The gunman said he was going to blow up police because they “took his child and accused him of being a terrorist,” Brown said.

Authorities cautioned that they have not confirmed the man is who he says he is. But in 2013, police in Paris, Texas, said they arrested James Lance Boulware after he obtained firearms, ammunition and body armor before threatening to attack his family, churches and schools. Police said then that he was taken into custody on two felony warrants from Dallas County.

That was two years ago and he's back on the street?

I know some people who live in the apartments across the street from HQ. The apartments were fully evacuated as things unfolded.

Glad to heard no officers were hurt.

Bill: Did you hear about the attack at DPD this morning?
Ted's Mom: Yeah, well what do you expect with Open Carry and Campus Carry now legal. We said blood would run in the streets, and there you go!
Bill: Uh, Ted's Mom?
Ted's Mom: Yeah?
Bill: Those bills weren't signed until this afternoon, 12 hours after the attack.
Ted's Mom: Well, still ...
Bill: And they don't actually become law for several months.
Ted's Mom: Uh...
Bill: And it wasn't on a college campus.
Ted's Mom:
Bill: And the guy wasn't openly carrying. In fact, he used a gun that is already illegal.
Ted's Mom: Oh.
Ted's Mom: But I bet the guy was black, murdered in the streets by racist white cops! Black lives matter! Hands Up Don't Shoot!
Bill: The guy was white.
Ted's Mom: Really?
Bill: Yeah; really.
Ted's Mom: Oh.
Ted's Mom: Then why was it on the news?

The police did an excellent job. Praise the Lord no one else was injured or killed other than the perpetrator. Thumbs up to Dallas Police.

Prayers sent for the perpetrators parents. I am sure their hearts are broken.

It's a neat neighborhood. . . reminds me of the West 7th development in Fort Worth. My company has a 24/7 data center next door to the HQ building - they share the parking garage with the PD. Every time I'm there I like go for a coffee at the great little spot across tbe street and always stop by the lobby of the HQ and look at the museum pieces in the lobby - including the helicopter that was apparently hit by the perp.

The irony is that the HQ's presence makes most people feel safer while being south of I-30.

It is a true miracle that no innocents were injured. Praise God!

I hope this was just a poor choice of words. Bold and brazen would have been much better word selection.
