BREAKING!! Armed group THREATENS attack on Dallas PD, SWAT team deployed!! [UPDATED]

More terrible news from Texas:

A group from Houston reportedly made threats against the Dallas Police Department, prompting a lockdown of police headquarters, sources told our sister station WFAA-TV.

The group allegedly threatened they were armed and were driving to Dallas to cause harm, sources told WFAA.

A SWAT team was deployed to Dallas Police headquarters, which was placed on lockdown shortly after 4 p.m. The department is on high alert.

UPDATE:

Phew!!

Well that was a whole lotta nothin.

People are still visiting the memorial right outside the Police Department:

That’s really odd.

On CNN reporters are saying that they will not say where police are in order to keep them safe – makes me think there’s a real threat there.

Let’s hope and pray this is a false alarm, or that cops are able to utterly obliterate these scumbags without innocent lives being taken. Either one.
