Dallas Police Chief: Suspect Died After ‘Our Bomb Robot’ Detonated Him

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
"To update you on what’s transpired since we last spoke letwalk you through the stand off that was occurring on the second floor of the college there in downtown Dallas. We cornered one suspect and we tried to negotiate for several hours. Negotiations broke down. We had an exchange of gunfire with the suspect. We saw no other option but to use our bomb robot and place a device on the extension for it to detonate where the suspect was. Other options would have exposed our officers to grave danger. The suspect is deceased as a result of detonating the bomb. The reporting that the suspect killed himself is not accurate. We have confirmed that he has been deceased because of the detonation of the bomb."
