A rifle-toting gunman wearing tactical gear and carrying multiple clips was fatally shot Monday after exchanging fire with federal officers outside a Downtown Dallas court building, police said.

The gunman, identified as Brian Isaack Clyde, was seen on video near the doors to the Earle Cabell Federal Building at about 8:50 a.m. before running across the street and into a parking lot, where he falls down.

He was brought to an area hospital, where he was pronounced dead, said Matt DeSarno, special agent in charge of the FBI's Dallas Field Office. No one else was injured during the incident, police said.

3. Is that the emblem of the 101st Airborne on his shoulder?

4. Let me guess...

He wanted to prove that Big Gummitt could never take his guns away?

6. He definitely wanted to prove something, that's for sure.

Maybe he was upset at how a recent case he was involved in turned out and chose the court building as a result. He was clearly ready to do a whole lot of damage, given how many magazines he was toting. Thankfully no one was injured or killed, apart from him, and I'm not gonna waste any tears on him.

11. So many speculative judgments of yours

So many speculative judgments of yours-- for someone who so righteously alleges not to judge prior to all relevant facts being presented.

[Jedi Guy]

15. Oh give me a fucking break. Are you new to this "reading" thing? Do you know what "maybe" means?

Do you honestly not understand the difference between offering speculation and forming a conclusion? From your comments, it doesn't seem that you do. Perhaps you should avail yourself of Google, it's a thing. Your hypocritical posts calling out supposed "self-righteousness" in others are ludicrous.

16. Good riddance

Good policework; taking out the trash.

[Jedi Guy]

17. Agreed. Glad they were able to put him down before he hurt or killed someone.

It could have been much, much worse.

7. Another victim of the shoot them first cops. They should have used pepper spray against him.

[Blue_Tires]

18. Just because this was a justified shooting

doesn't magically cleanse all the other bad (or at least highly suspect) ones..

20. Very funny Opel_Justwax. I think you've got a career in comedy.

2. The video shows someone hiding behind brickwork on the building-- scary place to be.

[bigworld]

10. That's the photographer!

[TreasonousBastard]

13. Yeah, after I posted that I saw the pix of the shooter and the photographer had to...

be right there.

But, it seems even scarier to photograph a guy shooting a semi-auto weapon. The shooter's looking right at him!

8. Is Texas an open carry state? Why did police shoot first? Why didn't they

ask him for his credentials? How did the cops know he wasn’t a “good guy”. Hope y’all know im being facetious as don’t care about this cretin at all. We need to get rid of open carry laws and have sensible gun laws

[Nitram]

22. I think these attempts to parody 2nd Amendment whackos are not very helpful.

12. Trump Army Fail

Dumbass

[hack89]

19. He served from August 2015 to February 2017

he left the army a month after Trump took office. Does that make him an Obama Army fail or just a fail?

I vote for the latter.

[jpak]

23. No - the Trump Army - as in Trump Biker/Militia Tweeker Dumbass Stupid Army

You know - the one that will "Own the Libs" with their assault rifles an big over-sized clips.

The one we're supposed to be a'feared of...
