DUNCANVILLE, Texas — Police on Monday shot and killed a man who showed up at a Duncanville summer camp with a gun and then exchanged shots with officers, officials said.

No children, camp staffers or police were injured in the incident, which unfolded shortly after 8:30 a.m. at the Duncanville Fieldhouse.

The location is an indoor sports and fitness venue where more than 150 children were attending a summer camp.

Police began receiving calls at 8:43 a.m. about a person with a gun and shots fired, according to a police news release.

Officers arrived two minutes later, at 8:45 a.m., and found the suspect inside the building, police said.

Officers "exchanged gunfire with the suspect," shooting him, according to the news release. He was taken to a hospital, where he died.

Mayor Barry Gordon told WFAA that the officers had just recently undergone active shooter training.

"Our officers did not hesitate," Gordon said. "They did what they were trained to do and saved lives."

Maybe why their police force is head and shoulders better than that of Uvalde.

I bet this report will make the FBI cry. They put lots of work into each of these false flags.

Duncanville is very upper middle class.

Many move there for the basketball and football programs.

Lots of former college ball players move/live there.

He wasn’t shot because he showed up with a gun. He was shooting at people and shot at the cops. You lose dirtbag.

No messing around. Cops swarmed in and put that MFer down. That's how it's done.

It would appear this is a very rare case of actual madman in contact with competent police. I believe this also happened in the 19th century.

Maybe not to folks that don't ever come south of the Trinity River, but this part of Duncanville is still fairly mixed race and decent.

It is across the freeway from a Costco and a Pappa's BBQ. Used to have a name licensing agreement with Bobby Knight and was called Bobby Knight's Fieldhouse.

If the kids were a little older and working on their marksmanship and archery badges, they could have filled him with enough arrows and .22 holes themselves.
