DALLAS -- On Friday morning, authorities announced that the diamond-shaped area flanked by Ross Avenue and Jackson, Griffin and Houston Streets would be off-limits to civilians, possibly for the entire day. The Dallas Area Rapid Transit station within the roped-off area is also closed while police investigate.
Forty police cars will be patrolling this section in the heart of the city’s downtown business district, near major landmarks such as the John F. Kennedy Memorial Plaza and the Dallas Holocaust Museum. Hundreds of people filter into this part of town for work every day.
