Peyton.
Heather, and tonight we're still waiting
for the identity of the suspect to be released.
Dallas police tell us they used flock cameras
to trace the suspect's vehicle to this Dallas motel.
Police also say he was armed with two firearms.
And we know no Dallas police officers
were injured in this confrontation.

Dallas police showed up to the Mustang Inn
in Oak Cliff around 1220 Wednesday afternoon
to arrest a man with multiple felony warrants,
narcotics, and also probation violations.
He was in possession of a long rifle.
Police say when they knocked, the man opened the door,
pointing the rifle at officers.
One officer fired at least one shot at him.
Dallas police say the man then came out with a handgun
and used it to kill himself.
The suspect remained armed. Officers gave repeated verbal commands,
which the suspect did not follow.
The suspect then fired his weapon at himself,
sustaining a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
So that part, whether police gunfire struck the suspect,
still under investigation.
And it's still unclear
if the suspect ever fired either weapon at officers.
Two vehicles were towed away before the crime scene tape
was taken down, a black Mercedes and also a white Mercedes.
body camera video from those Dallas police officers set
to be released at a later date
within 72 hours. That's department protocol.
