Dallas police identify the 61-year-old gunman who fired at officers Sunday
An armed suspect who was shot and killed by Dallas police after firing at officers Sunday has been identified as 61-year-old Donathy Doddy.
A news conference is set for Wednesday, and Dallas police said body-worn camera footage will be released.
Dallas police responded to a call for a person with a gun about 6:15 p.m. Sunday in the 3400 block of Metropolitan Avenue.
A preliminary investigation determined an argument had broken out and one person had a gun. When officers arrived, they found Doddy and walked toward him. Doddy pulled his weapon and charged at the officers, according to police, and fired at least one shot.
Officers fired back, hitting Doddy. He was taken to a hospital in critical condition and died.
Another person was injured in the gunfire and taken to a hospital in stable condition.
The Dallas County District Attorney’s Office will conduct its own investigation. The Office of Community Police Oversight was notified and responded.
