It was in a Saint Paul suburb that one of last week's deaths occurred. Police now believe he had been planning something big long beforehand, and that last week's deaths were a trigger, Dallas police chief David Brown told CNN on Sunday. DALLAS - The Dallas gunman is thought to have been plotting a major bomb attack, authorities said Sunday after 200 were arrested in a new night of protests over police violence against blacks. - 'Scrawled in his own blood' -Johnson insisted on speaking only to a black police officer when he began negotiating, Brown said. The deaths in Minnesota and Louisiana "just sparked his delusion to fast-track his plans and (he) saw the protest in Dallas as an opportunity to begin wreaking havoc on our officers," Brown said.
