But, unless the news team/feed at WFAA is horribly wrong, the suspect is dead. The police are covering the area with bomb-sniffing dogs now.

I'm just glad it's over.

Well, not exactly over. They still have to search for possible explosives.

But I'm am multi-tasking.

We'll find out who and what. As I said, I'm just glad a resolution is at hand. I got a loved one that lives down the street from El Centro, who I have not been able to get a hold of. I'm more concerned about the bomb sweep right now.

A few people with a plan can do so much senseless damage.

Yes, one of them is dead. There are currently three people in custody. I think they're 'persons of interest.' It's been reported that there was more than one shooter, at this time they're saying two.
