A man drove his pickup truck into a Dallas TV station building Wednesday morning, shattering floor-to-ceiling windows.
After slamming into the building several times, a man got out of the truck and yelled “high treason,” while holding papers up to the glass and delivering them in a stack to the door of the building, according to the Fox affiliate station.
“He kept yelling, ‘High treason!’” Brandon Todd, a reporter at KDFW-TV, said on-air. “He believed he had been clearly wronged and was trying to get some attention.”

Another reporter who witnessed the crash at the station said the man was ranting and trying to show people at the station whatever was on his papers, the New York Times reported.
“We just saw police running inside and saying, ‘Get to the other side of the building,’” the reporter, Shannon Murray, said. “It wasn’t clear what the man’s intentions were. He was yelling and trying to show us something.”

Most have been evacuated & a few are working to keep the news on air from a secure location. pic.twitter.com/X3UpLbYk85
