Apparently one of the suspects did not kill himself as the media was claiming. DPD strapped a bomb on a robot & drove it to where the suspect was and detonated it killing him.
""Dwaine Caraway (former interim mayor of Dallas) said on the radio this morning that the perp asked for a cell phone, and that the cell phone was used to "expire" him.""
Anybody else seen this? Is it true? Seems a little malicious compared with the official statement they made of simply sending in explosives.
“We saw no other option than to use our bomb robot and place a device on its extension to detonate where the suspect was,” Brown said, adding that, “other options would have exposed our officers to grave danger.”
