Saw something on FB. He looks ready to do some damage and may have only managed to shoot out the revolving doors?

Hope no one else was injured. Police presence is large in scope. First time I have seen firefighters in their new body armor.

i don't think baclava would be very effective.

Normally we get sky high casualty reports right off the bat so hopefully the fact we haven't seen anything yet is good.

but lets not forget, we almost always are told there are 2-4 shooters as well.   So this being a single gunman report also implies its just this one wack job who hopefully only got himself killed.

 

I too hope for the zero innocent vibes.

A federal courthouse seems like one of the dumbest soft targets you could possibly attack but it also seems dumb to try to find logic in something like this.

Seems like this guy chose his target.....poorly.

But, as someone who regularly frequents courthouses, repeated incidents like this are going to make security even more of a PITA.  What an asshole.

I support his cause. Revolving doors are horrible.

I think it would especially for negotiations with Turks, Middle Easterners, and some Central Asians.

They have, just not successfully....yet anyways. NFL and MLB security aren’t slouches, and they work very hard to keep those things under wraps.

That’s not brass balls, that’s absolute stupidity.

The guy who took the photo was stuck out there with nowhere to go. Pretty sure the guy huddled next to the column is Dallas Morning News photographer Tom Fox.

I'd like to know what the Feds were shooting, because I can't even see them in the video -- they hit him from some distance.  Nice work.

Damn, that guy came ready to go, good thing it didn't last very long. 

He appears to be a 22 year old cosplay loser from Dallas. Woodrow Wilson High School grad.

Dallas Morning News reporting this is him:

https://www.facebook.com/brian.clyde.50

Looking at his FB page he has photos of his magazines used in today's attack. Rifle he used looks like a crummy low end AR that can be had for about $400 OTD.

That was poorly executed. He had a shitload of mags and didn’t even make it through the first one.

Surprised there isn't a line of people coming out the front.  Maybe they all got shooed away.  Also, I don't think they have bankruptcy hearings on Mondays.  Those seem to pull the crowds.

His boots were not even tied.

It worries me people like this exist. I am thankful he decided to chose a hardened and secure facility with armed staff rather than a soft target with people who can't stand much of a chance of fighting back.

It's the carbs that get you. 

I like dumbasses who spend a lotta time and money ordering stuff from "TACTICALBADASS.COM," but no time or money learning how to shoot or actually scoping out their target.  I like those dumbasses a lot.  Because they get taken out without doing any damage.

Looks like the 101st Screaming Eagle patch on his shoulder.

Cosplay, indeed. I wonder what infantile fantasy he had in his head as suited up and walked to the slaughter.

guaranteed he bought something at one of those mall ninja stores as a 13 year old.

The Dallas Police shooter had Reserves and extra training.

Good thing he has a holo sight on that. Should really increase his hip fire accuracy.

Smart move. He will get all the dick he can handle in federal prison. And more.

That’s a REALLY fucking good zoom lens.

He could have made it himself, but I’d hope that ordering a belt that holds 10 AR mags might land you on some lists.

So DFD has armor now? EMS has had vests in Austin for years, but still nothing for Fire. No idea why.

This is right by where most of the Dallas police shooting happened right? It’s super fortunate that the shooter was an inept fucktard this time.

DMN photojournalist Tom Fox had just gotten to courthouse and was about to go inside to cover a trial when he saw this guy get out of a car with weapons, and ducked behind the wall as seen in video above.  He leaned out, shot a few frames and ducked back again.  He's lucky to be alive - but damn, what a photo.  I'd be surprised if it doesn't win the Pulitzer for spot news photography.
