DALLAS - Three Dallas police officers have been shot after some kind of violent incident in Oak Cliff Thursday night.
Multiple police sources tell FOX 4 that three officers were shot in some kind of gunfire exchange near the Oak Cliff Community Center on Ledbetter near Marsalis Avenue.
Two of those officers were seriously injured, according to the source. The third officer is expected to be okay.
Police sources say the suspect is dead.
Online 911 records show police responding to an ‘assist an officer’ call in Oak Cliff around 10 p.m.
A suspect led police on a high-speed chase up I-35. The chase reached very high speeds and stretched all the way from Dallas to Lewisville. Surrounding agencies were called in to help.
TxDOT cameras captured the chase as it moved along Loop 12, headed north alongside the west side of Dallas, eventually making its way on I35E and headed up into Lewisville.
Along the way, there was what appeared to be the suspect's vehicle with hazards on.
There was not only a large number of squad cars right on its tail, but numerous officers were catching up to the chase from other areas.
At 12:30 a.m., Dallas police confirmed on X that they are investigating an officer-involved shooting, but did not give any further details.
Police have not confirmed that three officers have been shot or that the suspect is dead.
Two officers were taken to Baylor Hospital.
Dozens of officers can be seen waiting outside Methodist Hospital, where the third officer was taken.
Dallas police are expected to provide an update at some point in the night.
This is a developing story. Stay with FOX 4 for developments.
It’s the new boomtown of the US now. Basically, the LA of the 70s/80s. That is generally a good thing, if it can be managed better than LA did.
Latest reporting is that perp ran after the gunfight in a crappy last-gen compact FWD Buick, was pursued up to Lewisville and a final gunfight ensued. Perp was listed as having a “long rifle” - I’m wondering if it’s the now classic and infamous Draco.
Shooter was a black guy who subscribed to the Sovereign Citizen/Moorish ideology.
Not reported yet, but you are probably right. Still, in Dallas there’s been enough exceptions to that rule that it is not an entirely safe assumption.
Perp's vehicle:
His facebook pic wearing a shirt that says “Moorish Lives Matter” kind of gave it away. (And yes I’m serious about the pic.)
Hadn’t seen where they’d announced the ID of the deceased perp yet - got a link?
Fox News a few hours ago was saying that one police officer was dead and two were hospitalized.
It’s a shame.
