Authorities said the incident began about 9 a.m., when 29-year-old Patrick Gray Sharp pulled his truck, which was hauling a trailer, in front of the Department of Public Safety building in McKinney, about 30 miles north of Dallas.
Sharp set the truck on fire, igniting ammunition inside the vehicle in what police believe was a tactic to draw people out of the building, Kowalski said. Sharp also attempted to set fire to the truck's trailer, which was carrying wood chips, road flares, gasoline and ammonium nitrate fertilizer, but it failed to ignite, Kowalski said.

Hmmm, Patrick Gray Sharp doesn't sound like an illegal alien, or a Muslim, so I guess he was just another Texas wacko. They speculate the truck fire was to draw the cops outside where he could shoot them, or they would get blown up by his trailer bomb that didn't work.
When the cops didn't come out he took some shots at the college security office across the street, then likely killed himself.
Here's the 18 minutes of news conference.
