One man is dead following a shooting shortly after 10 a.m. today (Monday, Sept. 11) in the parking lot of the AT&T store at 3329 Oak Lawn Ave.
According to police, the man who called them to the scene, who is licensed to carry a concealed weapon, told them that he shot a man after that man ran up to him in the parking lot and threatened to kill him.
NBC Channel 5 reports that about a dozen Dallas Police patrol cars were on the scene, along with a Dallas Fire Rescue ambulance, and one person was detained in the back seat of one of the patrol cars.
Jeff Roose was at the location shortly after the shooting and shared photos (above) and videos (below) with Dallas Voice.
Dead men tell no tales but they can serve a horrible example of what not to do.
The dead man was actually the victim here. He had schizophrenia and was homeless. Persons with mental illness are victims of violence 9 out of 10 times. All we can hear is the alive persons story which is very familiar and I quote ” he had his hand on his pocket I was afraid”.

Do you want to rewrite that in English?
Was he the tall white male who frequently walked the neighborhood? He would yell to himself. Poor guy.
I dated Alex for 3 years prior to this incident. He was a very troubled man who needed serious mental health assistance. I loved Alex very much, that being said, at some point we have to realize that someone has to really want to get better. I still have most of his voicemail messages and am deeply saddened by this happening to him. My heart is broken as I know his was as well.
