A male suspect ID'd as a special education teacher lunged at police with a sharp-edged weapon, which appeared to be a homemade knife, in an attempt to stab arresting officer.
Nunez, according to the Dallas Morning News, took employment with the Dallas Independent School District in 2003.
Jeremy Hass, a longtime friend of Nunez, told the outlet that Nunez's behavior was wildly out of character. "He had impeccable character, and he was willing to help anybody – just overall a good guy," Hass said, adding that he had spoken to Nunez’s family after the fatal shooting. Nunez's family said he might have been struggling with his mental health in the days leading up to the incident. Hass himself said that Nunez didn't"seem like himself" over the weekend.
