Turns out it's not an SKS, but a Saiga AK74 variant.
From what i heard from FOX news was there wasn't enough left to do a toxicological test so i doubt that is him or news was wrong.
The photo does look kinda like him (see the beard) and the clothing seen in the other video.
Yes it does, but as the reported described it there wasn't much left but a splatter. The reporter could be wrong but he went into great detail to make sure it was understood nothing was left. Maybe somebody here in the medical field can explain how much is need to do a toxicological analysis.
"Reporters" also insisted it was an AR15........and then an SKS........ I believe that's him.
They're still saying it's an sks, wfaa just showed it and said its an sks which is a very old rifle and a precursor to the ar15
No one does any fact checking anymore

Now they are reporting it is a suspicious male in the police parking garage someone asked why he was in that restricted area and he ran

Am I the only one a little unsettled by the fact that the PD used a bomb against the guy? Don't get me wrong, I'm glad he got taken out and I mourn the officers lost, but this just rubs me wrong.
from what i read elsewhere the robotic arm with explosives is part of the swat teams arsenal typically used for door breaches, i have no issue with the use they had to end the standoff and prevent more lives from being lost and it became clear he was not giving himself up

There just isn't a ton yet, but I'll say this John mcaa appears to know something about firearms. He said if it is the type of rifle police say (ar15) then it isn't like the movies the bullet doesn't stop at 100yards

one man said he jumped out front to get pictures of the crowd..then he heard shots and saw a policeman get shot.
Same thing happened when officers shot a man at love field, everyone stands around with their phones

Re: Shots fired at BLM protest in Dallas

Wfaa is live too, people saying ar15 and the anchor John maccaa was very clear that this is what people always describe and we don't know what it was but from the sounds it was a long gun.


I heard some audio it was certainly a semi auto rifle, sounded louder then a .223 but hard to tell with echo on video
