DALLAS (AP) — A standoff at some Dallas apartments has ended in an incident that began as officers tried serving a warrant in a Nebraska shooting.
Investigators didn't immediately provide the status of the gunman who was holed up in the unit for several hours Thursday.
Dallas County sheriff's deputies were helping serve a warrant for assault and firearms charges. Sheriff's spokeswoman Melinda Urbina says the warrant from Omaha, Nebraska, names Robert James Covington.
Urbina says officers approached the unit and then a relative of the person inside came out — unharmed. Deputies then heard shots from inside.
Urbina says no officers were fired upon or hurt.
An Omaha gas station clerk was wounded Jan. 16 while protecting a female co-worker who had rejected a customer's advances. Authorities believe Covington was the gunman.
