Monday morning, a gunman identified by police as 22-year-old Brian Isaack Clyde traded gunfire with police outside a Dallas court building. Footage shot by a onlooker from an adjacent building shows the gunman apparently shooting into the door of the Earle Cabell Federal Building before police fire upon him. Clyde, wearing a black ski mask and tactical vest, then runs across the street into a parking lot, where he reportedly collapsed after being shot. Law enforcement officers brought him to a hospital where he was pronounced dead.
Clyde’s Facebook profile reveals a series of bizarre posts and videos in which he shows off his rifle, magazines, and sword. In one video, he says “a storm is coming” without further explanation.
