“There was about four or five cops shooting at the suspects,” said resident Michelle Gonzalez on Thursday.
According to Dallas police, undercover officers were in the area and received alerts through Flock cameras of a stolen red truck in the area. Data from the cameras led them to the parking lot at the complex, where officers spotted an occupied truck.
Garcia said as marked units swarmed the truck, the driver stepped on the gas, ramming two marked cruisers.
