MCKINNEY, Texas — A man towed a trailer full of explosives into a suburban Dallas police station’s parking lot Tuesday, then set fire to his pickup truck and began shooting at the building in an apparent attempt to lure people outside to kill them, authorities said.

Patrick Gray Sharp, 29, died after a shootout with officers, but it’s unclear whether he was killed by an officer’s bullet or one of his own, McKinney police Chief Doug Kowal ski said. Nor was his motive known, Kowalski said.

No one else was hurt during the Tuesday-morning clash. The fire set off ammunition in the truck but failed to ignite the trailer, which was filled with wood chips, ammonium nitrate, gasoline and road flares, Kowalski said.
