We probably won't know until the morning. The chief and mayor are done giving info in person for the night.

Going to try and sleep, but man this is unsettling hoping nothing else happens. Hope cooler heads prevail in all the aftermath that follows.

Supersonic, idiotic, disconnecting, not respecting, who would really ever wanna go and top that
People have been known to make their own, crazily enough. Pretty sure the dudes in the North Hollywood shootout in the 90s had some super crazy homemade body armor.

This needs to be everywhere so this brother's life will hopefully no longer be in danger.

infowars is hell of a drug
This is true
I'd like to think that but Sandy Hook. Sandy Hook. If killing a bunch of children couldn't make them budge I'm not sure anything can. I'm sure some idiot will just go "But if everyone had a gun then none of this would have happened!"
The only way, ironically, that maybe they'd break was if it turns out the attackers are non-white after all, like the reaction after the BPP started toting.

BBC is showing a photo of one or the suspects
The chap that turned himself in.

Obamas speech earlier today is being viewed as Anti police on FB before the shooting started, like seeanother Deblasio scenario happening here, I'm afraid to even open up my FB right now. What a sad moment in our country, the protest was peaceful, the police or some of them were interacting normally with the protesters. Things weren't perfect but it could have been heading in that direction.
The Dallas PD now sets the tone for the rest of this country. Do they continue to stand with the community and show that a few bad eggs from the crowd doesn't mean they are all guilty of wanting their brothers and sisters dead. Or do they turn their back on the community, sending a shockwave across the rest of the countries police forces.

Highly likely. It was planned and (seemingly) coordinated. But we need more evidence before we can claim it for certain.
He better take his bro out to Fogo or something for that.

Damn he's lucky he got that on video. Won't stop a ton of people retweeting and sharing his picture though
Are they going to take that picture down already?
Not a suspect. He wasn't a shooter cuz he was in the crowd.
I'm still holding out hope that it's clear enough that it wasn't the protestors. It was an opportunity where a lot of cops were downtown and vulnerable -- that happens several times a year here. They do marathons, parades etc downtown with similar police presences. They'll have to figure out how to do these kinds of things in a safer way regardless and the fact this time happened to be a protest shouldn't be a big factor.

If they can end it without further gunfire, then they should.

Not a suspect. A person of interest. And there has been overwhelming video evidence that he was not involved in the shooting.

Uh he is not a suspect.
He's just a protestor who unfortunately got dragged through the muck by the media. He had nothing to do with it.
It's going to be something if the shooters turn out to not be black and they have to do a quick about-face.

Fuck, that clip of the suspect running up close to the cop and shooting him is like straight out of a movie. This shit is crazy right now.
It also will likely see the continuation of killing the hope of civilian demilitarization for a generation, too.
No matter how much gun violence happens, the answer is always "more guns."
It's a pretty common stock-phrase for extremists.

As I posted earlier, if armed officers of the law in an open carry gun friendly state can be mowed down by private citizens, what hope does a "good guy with a gun" have? This has to be the tipping point for them.
It is dangerous to engage with an armed assailant, even if the swat team is well trained -- this isn't hollywood. It'd be better if they can somehow solve this safely.

Ah right. BBC Story doesn't really make that clear. Just that he "handed himself in".
Thanks.
Nice to see the BBC being responsible and taking the poor guys picture down!

Honestly, these days "terrorism" has almost lost all meaning. To my mind, it should be attacks deliberately aimed at civilian targets. Police are paramilitary.
But it's basically used to describe any attack by people who don't work for some government. Be it actual murderers attacking civilians in a club or public area, or guerrillas attacking a military target.
Gotta make sure the bomb thing isn't true I guess?

I don't even know what to think about any of this shit anymore. This country is full of morons. Any time something has a chance of changing some bullshit just happens to set things back. We inch up a hill only to slide back down when some rain hits.
Negotiating his surrender, I presume, but it sounds like that's been a fruitless endeavor so far.
Otherwise, they'll wait him out if he is indeed surrounded and can't escape anywhere else. He has to sleep and eat at some point.

So much fucking irresponsible journalism happened tonight. Makes me sick that this guy could've been killed because of it.

I'd guess they're just trying to get him to come out so they can take him alive and not have anymore people shot. Since he's still firing at them apparently.

Come on BBC, do your research. If a gaming forum can figure out that this man is innocent then so can you.

I'm a resident of Connecticut, Sandy Hook was not far from me. I can get there in the time it takes to watch an episode of anime, or simpsons.
After Sandy Hook, there's no hope at all for Republicans to do the right thing. None at all

Not sure I see the virtue in going on TV and echoing the ramblings of a guy that says there's bombs everywhere when he's 99% likely to be bluffing.
Yeah, but what does that word even mean these days?

It's legal to buy body armor in Texas, so long as you haven't been convicted of a felony.
