DALLAS -- Threatening to shoot officers, a man wearing a mask drove up to the Southwest Patrol Division Wednesday.
According to police sources, Adan Salazar, 22, drove up to the security checkpoint, where officers stopped to talk to him. Salazar wore a Guy Fawkes mask seen in "V for Vendetta," which has also been worn as a symbol for online hacktivist group Anonymous.
Officers say they smelled marijuana on him and that he began acting out, so they asked him to get out and patted him down.
That's when he jumped on the ground and started talking gibberish. Salazar said he came to shoot the place up, “just to show the world it can be done.”
Police said Salazar was taken into custody for a mental health evaluation.
