Quote:A Dallas Fire-Rescue EMT and an unidentified civilian were wounded in a shooting in east Dallas, in the 3200 block of Reynolds Street, just south of I-30 near Dolphin Rd.

The body believed to be that of the shooter was later found dead inside a home by a police robot along with the body of another person according to Mayor Mike Rawlings.

The alleged shooter, according to sources is Derick Lamont Brown, 36. Sources tell CBS11’s J.D. Miles he was on an FBI watch list for activities with the Black Lives Matter and anti-government involvement.

Quote:Emergency crews responded to a call around 11:30 Monday morning when they came under fire.

Dallas Fire-Rescue said as paramedics were beginning treatment on a shooting victim, a suspect approached and opened fire.

The EMT who was shot was rushed to Baylor Medical Center. The EMT, who is stationed at Fire Station 19, remains in critical but stable condition.

Quote:A source identified the shooter as Derick Lamont Brown, who lived in the 3200 block of Reynolds Avenue, where the shooting occurred.

Brown, 36, had a lengthy criminal history and was chairman of the New Black Panther Party in Dallas in the early 2000s.

Quote:The suspected gunman told The News in 2005 that he wanted to empower residents to stand up to the police and fight back as a last resort.

"We're willing to defend by any cause and every cause," Brown said in 2004. "If that takes fighting back, Lord have mercy for me on what should happen on the streets, but I'm willing."

But he also said he wanted to steer away from the militant stereotype of the Black Panthers.

Brown had a lengthy criminal history in Dallas County. He pleaded guilty to driving while intoxicated and firearms charges.

In October, Brown was pulled over after driving the wrong way down a street near downtown Dallas. He had bloodshot eyes and his breath smelled of alcohol, according to an arrest warrant affidavit.

When officers attempted to handcuff him, he resisted. Eventually he was handcuffed but again resisted being put into the squad car, refusing to walk and leaning his 200-pound frame into officers. The officers had to drive the squad car to him, according to the affidavit.

He was charged with driving while intoxicated and resisting arrest. At the time of the arrest, he had a prior DWI conviction from 2010, and two other pending DWI cases from Dallas County in January and July of last year.

In December 2015, Brown crashed his car. An officer who responded to the accident smelled PCP and saw Brown standing outside the wrecked car holding a 9mm handgun in one hand and a loaded magazine in the other, the arrest warrant affidavit stated.

He pleaded guilty to unlawfully carrying a handgun and was sent to jail in November. It's unclear when he got out.

Minister of Defense??

where's the news? We average about 3-4 dead a week on the north side of JAX.

Well, at least the FBI has some idea now of where that dude on its watch list is located.

Thanks for pointing this out... I haven't follow the local news that closely. I knew enough to know that his roommate was his godfather who had moved in with him to help him get his life together.

This incident has been sharing coverage with the shooting in Balch Springs that has resulted in an officer being dismissed, and it's almost certain that he will be prosecuted. The family has been very circumspect in allowing the process to play out and discouraging protests and/or violence in response to this. Thus far, the officer's prospects look very bad. I think things will get very bad in Dallas if there is not a conviction in this case, even though Balch Springs is kind of in a forgotten part of the metroplex.
