Dallas police shoot, kill suspected armed robber who police say was using replica handgun

Dallas police shot and killed a man they say used a replica firearm to attempt multiple robberies and a carjacking Monday afternoon.

Police said they were called to a carjacking at 4 p.m. near a school on Rolling Hills Lane near Interstate 635 in far north Dallas. Police later learned a man matching the suspect's description robbed a Fiesta Mart up the road before the alleged carjacking attempt.

He thought it was a brilliant idea to have a FAKE GUN and now he's REAL DEAD 😖

[Revolverful]

Excellent work by the officers. The perp was using it like a real one, what did he expect

[tax]

Too bad. I bet the victims thought it was real.

Police aren't at fault. How are they supposed to know the gun isn't real? I mean he was robbing ppl with it. It is what it is. Don't tear up the city over this. He caused his own death

Like going to a knife fight with a spatula.

[CasualSpec]

So he brought a fake gun to a gun fight?

Another clear case of police doing a great job.

If I give you .2 seconds to make a decision whether the gun I’m pointing at you is real or fake - it’ll be real every single time to you.

I’m not “pro police” but I’m not dumb either.

This is so sad. The suspect still held a Gun...fake or not.

Replicas look real unless you have it in your hands, when your robbing people then expect to get shot at replica or not.

Should we first ask the robber to let us check on his gun is real or not before we pull our gun out for self defence?

[asmith]

"hit at least once?" Y'all can do better 😂

[copmy]

Robber shot dead.... End of the story whether he was armed with replica gun or not....!

A fake gun, really, who gives a flying F, we know how he was using the fake gun.

[Mike_Oxhuge]

He must not be black or it would be top news at CNN

[deplorablebilly]

You want to play the game, be prepared to lose, no one’s fault but their own.I back the BLUE

[MrDa]

The media needs to start being held accountable.

[Killso]

How would gun control have stopped this?
