Armed suspect shot himself during confrontation with Dallas police

Chip, thanks. One person is dead following an altercation with police. Yeah, so officers were looking to arrest the suspect for multiple warrants. Fox 4's Dan Godwin live at the Dallas Police Department headquarters with the details. Dan, good morning. Good morning, Paige. There are still some questions about this incident that an investigation will seek to answer. at around 12:20 yesterday afternoon DPD officers were at the Mustang Inn along RL Thornton Freeway in Oak Cliff they were looking to arrest a man with multiple felony warrants for narcotics as well as probation violations police say they had traced the man to this location using Flock technology when officers knocked on the door of the man's room they say he opened it and pointed a rifle at them. Their information indicates officers encountered the suspect armed with a gun. The suspect was armed and one officer fired his shots towards him. He was in possession of a long rifle and he presented it towards the officer and one officer discharged his weapon. Assistant Chief Rhodes says the officer fired at least one shot at the suspect. It's not yet known if the man was hit by a police bullet. That is still under investigation. At this point, police say the man came out of the room armed not with his rifle, but with a handgun. They say he was given repeated verbal commands to drop the handgun, which he did not follow. Officers say he then turned the weapon on himself and took his own life. Another point that's being investigated, whether the suspect fired any shots at officers. None of them were hurt. Police have not yet released the name of the man. they were attempting to arrest. Reporting live, police headquarters, Dan Godwin on Good Day.
