One suspect was cornered on the second floor of a garage near El Centro College. The police began negotiating with him around 11:45 p.m. During the negotiation, the suspect said that he was upset by the recent police shootings and that he wanted to kill white people, especially white police officers, Chief David O. Brown of the Dallas police said.
After several hours, negotiations broke down. Police officers and the suspect exchanged gunfire. The police detonated a robot-controlled bomb, killing the suspect.
Two other suspects were seen with a camouflage bag getting into a black Mercedes near Lamar Street, the police said.
The suspects drove away at high speed. Officers pursued the vehicle for about six miles before stopping it and taking them into custody.
