DALLAS—A police sniper shot a cornered suspect in an overnight attack on the Dallas Police Department’s headquarters, and authorities were checking Saturday to see if he was alive or dead.
The sniper shot the man following a standoff of several hours in a restaurant parking lot in the suburb of Hutchins, where he had fled in a van after the early-morning shootout outside of police headquarters near downtown Dallas, Dallas police Chief David Brown said at a news conference.
Investigators found a package containing pipe bombs in the parking lot of the headquarters building and the suspect told police negotiators that he had C4 explosives in the van, Brown said.
