“Jim Boulware, father of the man believed to have shot at Dallas police yesterday, told CNN Sunday his son had reached a “breaking point” after losing custody of his son, and had likely devised his attack as a protest.
James Boulware was fatally shot by a police sniper after an overnight standoff that began when he opened fire on a Dallas police station. Boulware was later cornered in a parking lot; his van was lined with explosives and had to be detonated by a police bomb robot. No officers were injured after what the department described as “literally dodging bullets.”
“He was trying to make a statement to get the system to understand he had lost his son, and it cost him his life,” his father said Sunday, through tears. Boulware denied that his son was a “domestic terrorist,” but was not so certain about his sanity.”
