DALLAS — A lone gunman who riddled Dallas police headquarters in a "helter-skelter" rampage Saturday with an assault rifle was shot and killed by a police sniper after fleeing in an armored van, according to multiple media reports.

No one was injured in the attack, despite the gunman — angry over a child custody battle — raking the lobby and second floor of the headquarters from several angles, shattering glass and sending officers scrambling. He also planted explosive devices at the headquarters, rammed a police car and opened fire again before speeding off.

The area around Dallas police headquarters was sealed off after suspicious packages were found following a shootout.
"We are blessed that our officers survived this ordeal," Police Chief David Brown told reporters. "There are bullet holes in squad cars where officers were sitting, bullet holes in the lobby where staff was sitting."
The police chief said the scene was "very helter-skelter for a long while," with the gunman changing magazines and moving to multiple firing positions.
After leading officers on a 10-mile chase, he pulled the vehicle into a parking lot near a Jack-in-the-Box restaurant in the town of Hutchins, about 12 miles south of Dallas, Brown said.
After negotiations by cellphone with the gunman broke down, a SWAT team sniper shot him through the windshield.
Police, after waiting to approach the vehicle because of concern that it was rigged with explosives, later declared the suspect dead, according to the Associated Press and The Washington Post, among other outlets.
Shortly after the news broke, however, the Dallas Police Department's Twitter account said while the suspect was believed to be dead, police had still been unable to confirm.
Brown said police called in a sniper after fearing that the gunman, who had fired repeatedly at officers, would try again and could hit a nearby neighborhood. Negotiations had also deteriorated into "rants" from the gunman — who became "increasingly angry and threatening" — over a child custody issue before talks broke off altogether, police said.
"He expressed that he had C-4 (military grade explosives) on the van," Brown said. "That's our biggest concern. We don't want to call his bluff."

An attack on the Dallas police headquarters left bullet holes in the front glass.
Earlier, police had shot out the van's engine block to keep the suspect from fleeing again.
Police said the heavily armed attacker — who called 911 in a "rant" after opening fire on the building in downtown Dallas — had used an assault weapon then a shotgun in an attempt to hit officers.
He said officers obtained the gunman's cellphone number from his 911 call and attempted to negotiate with him as the car was parked in Hutchins.
"He got angry during negotiations, would hang up and stop talking, rant for awhile and not really negotiate," Brown said. "At some point negotiations just ceased on his end."
The police chief said at one point the suspect charged that police "took his child" and "accused him of being a terrorist."
The standoff prompted police to shutdown nearby Interstate-45 in both directions.

Police use dogs to check for explosives at Dallas police headquarters on June 13, 2015.
A bomb squad robot was dispatched to examine the vehicle and found that there was only one person in it, Brown said.
Witnesses initially reported up to three other suspects from the shooting at headquarters, but Brown said they were seeing the lone gunman firing from different locations.
Police also found duffel bags near police vehicles at their headquarters. One of them included pipe bombs, which exploded when a robot picked it up.
Brown said the suspect identified himself as James Boulware, but police could not confirm that until they obtain fingerprints and get identification from him. "He said we took his child and we accused him of being a terrorist and that he is going to blow us up," Brown said.
Authorities cautioned that they have not confirmed the man is who he says he is. But in 2013, police in Paris, Texas, said they arrested James Lance Boulware after he obtained firearms, ammunition and body armor before threatening to attack his family, churches and schools. Police said then that he was taken into custody on two felony warrants from Dallas County.
However, it appears the case against him was dismissed last year after he fulfilled requirements imposed on him by a court.
Police also said a man named James Boulware has had previous interactions with the police involving family violence. Investigators are following up on those leads.
Brown noted that police officers around the country have been threatened in recent months, specifically referencing the December attacks that left two officers dead in New York City. But the Dallas police has not previously received threats, he said.
