BREAKING: One person killed in officer-involved shooting in Dallas

July 24, 2012

The incident was reported near Mural Ln. and Barber Ave. around 5 p.m. on Tuesday afternoon.

One person was confirmed dead in a field adjacent to a horse barn near the scene on Barber Ave.

After the shooting, a crowd formed around crime scene tape that was stretched along the perimeter near the scene at Bourquin.

Dozens of officers are on the scene forming a line that blocks the crowd from entering the area of the shooting.

According to the official Dallas PD Twitter, response teams from seven substations have been called to the scene of the shooting. The Dallas County Sheriff’s Department was also called in to help police.

Dallas police are shutting down Dixon at Scyene to stop inbound traffic. The officers say too many onlookers are pouring into the area.

EDIT: The man who was killed was 31-year old James Harper. via
