Shots fired from armored van at Dallas police headquarters

Update: Police were continuing to negotiate with a man in an armored vehicle after he opened fire on Dallas police headquarters and led dozens of squad cars on a chase that ended in Hutchins.

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. However, authorities have not yet confirmed that the man is who he says he is.

Original story:

A police source has confirmed that someone in an armored van fired shots at Dallas police headquarters early Saturday, prompting a pursuit involving dozens of police vehicles.

The gunman has been cornered in the van along Interstate 45 in Hutchins after more shots were fired at that location.

Police apparently are negotiating with the gunman, but there are reports he has threatened that the van is carrying explosives.

I was expecting that this might have something to do with that police officer/pool incident (in which case I have some empathy given that "living while black" seems to set off police officers.

But the domestic cases are the worst - he's determined to go down & take a bunch of others with him
