Female in custody. Male suspect shooting it out still with police amid negotiations.

[ChisolmTrailDem]

Developing. Others in custody in Oak Cliff.

Suspect in negotiations is on second floor of El Centro Parking Garage claiming that the "end is coming" and there are bombs all over town.

Police are not confident they have all suspects. No mention yet of suspects' race.

Police believe it was 4 people who triangulated on police positions and carried out a planned attack.

1. +1, crap... sounds like a winger... ffffuck

[ChisolmTrailDem]

4. Yup, sounds like a crazy right-wingnut. We shall see soon. nt

[Ace Rothstein]

6. Absolutely nothing said leads me to believe anything about the background of the suspects.

[still_one]

9. I agree. However, it appears that it was planned, and I believe by tomorrow

we will know a lot more.

They have one suspect cornered in garage, and other suspects, and three people in custody

[Ace Rothstein]

10. Absolutely. It sounds like the shooters knew the route of the protest.

[still_one]

11. with those they do have in custody, I think we will know by tomorrow

[Ace Rothstein]

12. I hope that the shooter who shot the cop point blank was one of those taken into custody.

[still_one]

13. He is probably the one they have cornered in the garage right now. It is still very

fluid.

[maryellen99]

2. I'll bet any money they're white anti government nuts

Like the Millers who shot those 2 cops dead in Las Vegas during the Bundy mess.

[Dreamer Tatum]

3. How much, seriously? Nt

[maryellen99]

5. Broke sorry nt

[uponit7771]

8. a lil...

[mucifer]

14. why would they shoot police and not protesters if they were right wingers?

gotta wait for more info

[uponit7771]

15. White supremacist have been pining for a race war for the last 10 years

[mucifer]

17. why would they go after the police and not the protesters?

maybe there is a reason. I don't understand your logic. Please explain

[uponit7771]

18. Make them more itchy fingered, that one is easy... on edge cops kill. Look, I don't know ...

... might be anyone at this point.

But world enders aren't usually black folk... jmho

[silverweb]

23. Yup.

[font color="navy" face="Verdana"]And now they're deliberately trying to provoke one.

[Kablooie]

31. Ah, the old Charles Manson trick.

Didn't work very well for him either.

[Monk06]

29. For the same reason Manson tried to hang the LaBianca murders on the Black Panthers Race war with

the blacks losing that war

These white suprematist race warriours are counting on blacks getting blamed for gun violence against cops so they don't have to do anything but sit back and watch the cops declare war on blacks

Double win you get rid of cops and blacks leaving the world free for whites to roam free and armed

[PersonNumber503602]

33. I am not saying it was anti-government types (none of us in the public have any idea)

but I have a facebook 'friend' who is a white anti-government liberation type, and he seems sympathetic to the shooters. I'm pretty disgusted by him. I knew he was a bit messed up, but this is beyond my limits of tolerance.

[still_one]

7. Just heard that on the press conference. This appears to have involved planning

because they mobilized quite quickly

To see where the crime scene is before people come to work:

[uponit7771]

16. They had to have some inside info... this was too well planned

[King_Klonopin]

19. Do you think there may be a connection

between the behavior and rhetoric of the presumptive Republican nominee for POTUS
and the uptick in violence, divisiveness and authoritarian behavior of the powers that be ?

[silverweb]

24. Absolutely.

[Monk06]

30. Think it, believe it, live it

[Legends303]

20. It might they are Black or Muslim

I hope not but it looks like they targeting police, I don't know we will have to wait and see. They also remind of the San Bernardino shooters because they were described the same way.

[maryellen99]

21. So do white supremacists

Remember the Millers who shot those 2 Vegas cops while eating lunch and then draped the Tea Party Flag over their bodies? They are huge cop haters too. This was planned for a while.

[ChisolmTrailDem]

22. The video of the man shooting the officer in the back looked dark-skinned but...

...it is pretty hard to tell with the grainy video.

[RandySF]

26. Too far, too grainy.

[PersonNumber503602]

35. I couldn't tell. I thought he was white at first, but after watching it realized I couldn't tell

either way for sure. It was just way too grainy.

[Quantess]

25. "the end is near" is a dead giveaway

as to which religion is a factor.

[Drunken Irishman]

27. Context is everything.

He could just mean the end is near for the cops - they're about to die.

[Quantess]

28. They didn't say allahu akhbar

so I will confidently guess they are not muslims.

[Drunken Irishman]

32. I honestly don't know what to think.

The only thing that gives me pause, and makes me wonder Islamic terrorists, is that there's a lady involved...but mostly because of what went down in San Bernardino. Then again, there was the cop killing white couple too in Nevada. Really, I just don't know what to think.

[Quantess]

34. We really should just wait and see

and be grateful that neither of us have loved ones involved in this terrible event. I'm going to just be quiet and wait for the news.
