A sniper and a tactical officer take up positions on the shoulder of Interstate 45 at Dowdy Ferry Road on Saturday, June 13, during a standoff with a gunman inside a van in Hutchins, #Texas. The gunman allegedly attacked Dallas police headquarters, riddling windows and police cars with bullets before fleeing in the van to a suburban restaurant parking lot, where officers surrounded the vehicle in a standoff.

Police officers walk down Belleview Street on June 13, one block away from Dallas Police Department headquarters, as they search the area after the early morning attack on the building.

(CNN)A man unleashed a barrage of gunfire on Dallas’ police headquarters and planted explosives outside the building early Saturday — narrowly failing to wound anyone — leading to a chase to a suburb that ended with officers shooting him in his parked van at a restaurant parking lot.

Police believe they killed the suspect, though they haven’t confirmed his death yet. Late Saturday morning were using a robot to probe the van in the suburb of Hutchins because the suspect claimed he had rigged the vehicle with explosives, Dallas Police Chief David Brown told reporters.

Before he was shot, the suspect ranted to police by phone, gave his name and alleged police were responsible for his child having been taken from him, but investigators haven’t confirmed his identity, Brown said.

Police planned to conduct controlled detonations at the van in the parking lot of a Jack in the Box restaurant in Hutchins to ensue the van could be safely approached later, Brown said.
