Dallas, TX – June 24, 2025 — Unconfirmed reports of a possible active shooter incident at an AT&T building in downtown Dallas sparked alarm Tuesday, prompting calls for urgent prayers, caution, and verification amid widespread confusion on social media.
The initial alert began circulating through text messages and social media posts around 10:00 a.m., with individuals claiming that loved ones inside the AT&T facility had texted family members about a potential threat. One widely shared message read:
“Urgent 🚨 Please pray. I just got a text from a parent whose daughter is in the AT&T building in Dallas. They said there’s an active shooter and they haven’t put it on the news yet. People inside are texting their family members.”
Unconfirmed, but Under Investigation
As of this writing, no official confirmation has been issued by the Dallas Police Department, Dallas Fire-Rescue, or AT&T corporate security regarding the presence of an active shooter inside the building. Local law enforcement agencies have not issued public alerts or emergency bulletins, though they are reportedly aware of the circulating messages and are working to assess the situation.
The AT&T Discovery District, a prominent corporate and public space in the heart of downtown Dallas, houses thousands of employees on a daily basis. The building is heavily monitored and secured, with access controls and regular security patrols.
Eyewitness Accounts and Family Texts
While no confirmed audio or video footage has emerged from inside the building, multiple social media users have claimed that their loved ones working at AT&T texted about hearing loud noises or being told to shelter in place.
These accounts, while emotionally charged and alarming, remain unverified by authorities or news agencies. It is not uncommon in fast-moving, uncertain situations for early reports to be inaccurate, exaggerated, or even completely false.
