ORIGINAL POST

At approximately 2:15 PM, the suspect surrendered to SWAT officers without incident.  He is expected to be charged with Deadly Conduct and two counts of Aggravated Assault. There were no injuries reported.

The Dallas Police SWAT team this afternoon was positioned along Fitzhugh Avenue around Pub Pegasus because of an active shooter situation, according to various reports.

An employee at a nearby business told Dallas Voice that someone was holed up in the green office building at the corner of Buena Vista. He described police as being in position with shields out.

Another witness, however, said the person was barricaded in a home near that building.

At least 15 marked Dallas Police cars were on the scene, as well as a number of unmarked cars.
