Suspects in Custody After Deadly Shootings in Downtown Los Angeles Dallas

A fatal shooting occurred in downtown Los Angeles where one person died and a suspect was taken into custody after police responded to reports of gunfire near 5th and Main streets. The suspect was seen holding a gun and was subdued by police using less-lethal rounds before being disarmed and transported to a hospital. Meanwhile, in Dallas, a separate deadly shooting took place at the Pearl/Arts District Station on the DART transit system, marking the second fatal incident in a week. DART police quickly apprehended the suspect, and service on the line was temporarily disrupted but later restored. These incidents reflect rising concerns about public safety, with Dallas transit authorities noting an increase in crime rates on their system despite claims of overall crime reduction in prior years. Both law enforcement agencies emphasized their commitment to investigations and rider safety amid these violent episodes.
