Two dead following SWAT standoff, shooting in Garland, police say

  • Garland police fatally shot a man following a standoff at a Motel 6 located on LBJ Freeway close to Northwest Highway on Tuesday around 1:50 p.m.
  • The police responded to a disturbance call involving a tenant and management, and the suspect pointed a firearm at officers, prompting a SWAT response.
  • Negotiators failed to communicate with the barricaded man, so officers deployed tear gas and the suspect confronted SWAT with a gun before being shot.
  • Officers found the suspect, 52-year-old Shawn Dylan Burt from Hutchins, dead from gunshot wounds, and a second body believed dead 'for some time' inside the room.
  • The Garland Police Department's Criminal Investigations Division is handling the inquiry into both fatalities, and all officers remained unharmed throughout the event.
