Dallas Gunman Killed After Attack on Police Headquarters [New York Times]

A gunman attacked Police Headquarters at the edge of downtown here from inside an armored van early Saturday, shooting at officers and leaving bags filled with pipe bombs around the building in a brazen assault that led to an hourslong standoff. Hours after negotiators who had tried to persuade him to surrender lost contact, the suspect was found dead in the van after being shot by a police sniper, the police said. No officers or bystanders were killed or injured in the attack, which began outside the headquarters and spread to the parking lot of a restaurant in a suburb of Dallas.

“He said, ‘Dad, I’ve lost everything. I have nothing left,’ ” Mr. Boulware’s father said. “I don’t think he was trying to kill anybody. I think he was trying — the wrong way — to get people’s attention and get his son back.”
