Authorities have also announced a road closure in the area as the situation unfolds. No further details have been released about potential injuries or the identity of the suspect.
The shooting comes after Trump’s released a portion of classified documents related to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. The newly unveiled 80,000 pages focus on the shooting that occurred on November 22, 1963, and could shed light on the long-standing rumors about the CIA’s possible involvement.
For decades, theories have circulated around the events of the assassination in Dallas. Many Americans have demanded access to previously withheld records, hoping for answers to lingering questions. On Tuesday evening, President Trump responded to these calls by releasing some of the long-hidden documents.
“In accordance with President Donald Trump’s directive of March 17, 2025, all records previously withheld for classification that are part of the President John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection are released,” the White House said in a statement.
Trump himself urged the public to dive into the files, noting, “There’s a lot of reading ahead,” hinting at the depth and significance of the material made available.
