Dallas police headquarters cordoned off after threat
DALLAS | By Carlo Allegri
Dallas police headquarters and surrounding blocks were cordoned off and SWAT teams were deployed on Saturday after authorities received an anonymous threat against officers across the city, but a search for a "suspicious person" turned up no one, officials said.
The incident occurred as the city remained tense following Thursday night's fatal shootings of five Dallas police officers by a former U.S. Army reservist. Police asked news organizations to stop airing live video from the area as they carried out the search.
Police said on Twitter that "out of an abundance of caution, officers searched the garage to ensure reports of a suspicious person (were) thoroughly investigated." Police said they used a shotgun to get through a locked door during the search.
Before police sounded the "all clear," tactical officers dressed in protective gear and armed with rifles searched the three-story structure, police said.
