Police also detonated a suspicious package found in the vehicle Clyde drove to the courthouse, and much of downtown Dallas remains in lockdown.
It’s unclear what made Clyde want to fire on the courthouse. Previous Facebook posts from May showed a successful young man on the up.
On May 24, the gunman shared photos of what appeared to be an unfurnished new apartment, writing: “I got myself a fancy crack shack.”
“I have an extra key so if any of my bros need a place and don’t mind being squished, you’re more than welcome to stay,” he wrote.
In a video from May 8, Clyde could also be seen proudly speaking at what appeared to be a graduation ceremony while wearing an honor cord.
He is listed as a prospective graduate from Corpus Christi’s Del Mar College in a
press release on its website from May 21.
“Military has always been big in my family, so has education,” Clyde said at the event just weeks ago. “When I got out, I really didn’t have any other options, so I figure go to school.”
Clyde served as an Army infantryman from August 2015 to February 2017 and achieved the rank of private first class. FBI agent Matthew DeSarno said he was discharged in 2017.
