DPD Announcement from the Northeast Dallas Substation

As those who follow me on FB know, I shared information on this incident as it was happening yesterday. We heard the sirens and could see the news helicopters as well as the police helicopters orbit just to our west. The Home Depot, where the shooting inside the store occurred, is just down the street from Medical City Dallas Hospital. The officers involved are from the nearby police substation. Below is a message posted to our neighborhood association this morning  from the DPD Public Information Officer of that substation.
