Dallas Police identified Armando Juarez, 29, as a person of interest in the shooting during a press conference Tuesday evening. Juarez, whom police considered armed and dangerous, reportedly fled the scene in a white pickup truck. After a manhunt, authorities arrested Juarez.
"I do not have all the details of how he was able to get a gun and shoot all three of the officers at the Home Depot location," Hall said. "We're still investigating and reviewing video."
Anyone with information about the shooting was asked to call 911.
