Police have released the identity of the armed man who attacked the Duncanville Fieldhouse during a summer camp.

Police say it was 42-year-old Brandon Keith Ned of Dallas who attacked the fieldhouse. No further details were released.

With upwards of 150 kids at the Duncanville Fieldhouse for summer camp, Ned entered the building, confronted a staffer in the lobby, and fired a shot. No one was hit, and the counselors immediately went into action.

"Upon hearing that gunshot they did what they were trained to do," Stogner said. "They moved the kids to the safe area and began locking the doors."

During a search, officers confronted Ned, shot and killed him. No children, staff or police were harmed in the incident.

The case is being investigated by the Texas Department of Public Safety, police said.

According to public records, Ned had a criminal history that included convictions for intoxication manslaughter, drug possession and unlawfully carrying a gun.
