Dallas police are still searching for the shooter in a neighborhood east of the Dallas Fire-Rescue Training Academy.
It all began at about 11:30 a.m. when the firefighter was called to a home in the 3200 block of Reynolds Avenue, near Dolphin Road and Interstate 30.
The City of Dallas confirmed that an ambulance was struck by gunfire as well.

Dallas police currently have a home surrounded on Reynolds Avenue, according to WFAA’s Rebecca Lopez.
The department requested a “citywide assist,” meaning it asked for the help of any available officer. Dozens of law enforcement vehicles were at the scene early Monday afternoon.
The Dallas Police Association tweeted that a fireman had been shot and officers were “pinned down by gunfire.”
There is another active shooter in Dallas. This time a fireman has been shot, and officers are pinned down by gunfire. Please pray!

The Dallas Independent School District says no schools are in the immediate area of where police are searching.
In July 2016, a shooter opened fire in downtown Dallas, killing one DART and four DPD officers. Shortly after, WFAA covered Dallas Fire-Rescue crews receiving kits to help them during active shooter situations. The kits include bullet-proof vests.

Seriously, why do they have to make sure they use the word “active shooter” to describe the situation? Anything to promote terror propaganda. I remember when it was just a suspect shooting. Now we have to use the “active shooter” buzzword in every article that has a gunman.
Unfrigginbelievable…..
Fear, FEAR, FEAR!!!! Gotta promote FEAR!
“There is another active shooter in Dallas. This time a fireman has been shot, and officers are pinned down by gunfire. Please pray!”
Shoulda been the other way around… pigs shot (dead, preferably), and fireman pinned down by gunfire (but not shot).
I wish these damn ‘active shooters’ (LOL at NC 🙂 ) would get this sh#t right!
Further, if they ain’t in the military, they’re ALL civilians! Stupid f—ers!
Agreed!
All involved are Civilians.. the Pig, and Fire Pig are both Civies
