Man killed after shootout at Dallas Police HQ

A man planted pipe bombs outside Dallas Police headquarters and sprayed the building with bullets during a wild street battle before being shot and killed in his van by a police sniper.

Dallas Police chief David Brown said the suspect identified himself to authorities as James Boulware, and he blamed police for having lost custody of his son and for “accusing him of being a terrorist”. Officials declined to officially identify the suspect until a coroner verified it.
