No big deal, just a crazed guy intentionally crashing his pickup truck into the local Fox affiliate in Dallas:

The unidentified man was quickly arrested at the scene and luckily there are no injuries reported:

The bomb squad was also called in to investigate a suspicious package:
A man crashed a truck into the side of our building this morning. He jumped out and started ranting. He’s in custody now but the bomb squad is on its way. He left behind a suspicious bag. Most have been evacuated & a few are working to keep the news on air from a secure location. pic.twitter.com/X3UpLbYk85

It’s not clear yet what exactly the ranting man was ranting about, but here’s what we have:
.@BrandonToddFOX4 describing scene as man who crashed into FOX4 building ranted to employees. Said man said something about "high treason," ranted about a sheriffs department and held up papers against windows. https://t.co/i1sTvA8lZj

Now let’s see if this even gets covered on CNN and MSNBC or will it just be a local news story:
Now that we know no one is hurt…this is going to be interesting. Is it a conservative attack on the media or a local news story of minimal national interest?

Also, can we blame Brian Stelter, Oliver Darcy and Chuck Todd for their extremist rhetoric about Fox News as the catalyst for this attack? Those are their rules and all:
I would just like rhetoric clarification. Clearly Stelter, de Blasio and Darcy's daily attacks on Fox played a part in this. As did Chuck Todd's op ed in the Atlantic about "Fighting back". Those are the rules here right? https://t.co/sHO5pd7VOO

Stop ATTACKING Brian Stelter, everyone! He is on a vacation (that includes interviewing Dan Rather and blocking folks who point that out) https://t.co/yxcsLUmK9V
