[From article]
The suspect's father, Jim Boulware of Carrollton, said his son had blamed police for losing custody of his own child, who is now in middle school.
But despite previous threats of violence, he said he never expected anything like Saturday's events.
"He blames the police for taking his son away from him," Jim Boulware said. "I tried to tell him that the police are just doing their job."

"We think he was specifically targeting officers," Brown said.
Brown said police were able to contact the man after he made a long, ranting 911 call.
Brown said that once the man became agitated and cut off negotiations after hours of on-and-off talks, SWAT made the decision to shoot him.
