According to Dallas Police, there were 2 known shooters, a man and a woman. The woman is in custody, the man is dead after a shootout with the police. A third guy, who is black, was identified as a suspect, turned himself in, was questioned and released. That's all that's for sure right now.

I can't wait to find out that the killers were using assault rifles so we can have a fun new debate on gun control.

The third guy was just a guy using his second amendment rights to walk around with an assault rifle who handed it over to a police officer when the shooting started but the police labeled him a suspect and blasted his picture and name all over. I mean there is so much to unpack there. One of the suspects is dead because I am not kidding the police put a bomb on a bomb disposal robot and blew him up. Why do the police even have bombs to deploy?

His name was Mark Hughes and here are him and his brother being interviewed about it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7zok9rk9x_s

Summary: as soon as they found out that Mark was a person of interest, he and his brother immediately went to the cops to surrender, they did nothing, Mark was constitutionally exercising his right to open carry in the state of Texas, they were interrogated, the cops tried that "we got witness that saw you do it" poo poo, it didn't work, obviously since they didn't do poo poo, the cops wont apologize.

Not really "set off", but blowing up explosives is one of the safest and easiest ways to get rid of them. That or burning them up with thermite. So your average bomb disposal unit has all sorts of explosives.

Aren't there, um, regulations against using explosives against people? Couldn't they strap 20 flashbangs on it instead?

It gets so hot in the Southwest that it will break your air conditioning. 85 degrees with any amount of humidity? Cute.

It's cool out today and the heat index in Tulsa is expected to have a high of around 110

Probably the SWAT teams have them so they can destroy walls to penetrate a building, which could come in handy in a hostage crisis. It's also helpful for bomb containment, where they have controlled detonations of suspicious packages and other items.
Also apparently it's useful for strapping to Jihadbots to blow the poo poo out of sniper cop killers.

RIP hero Jihadbot, enjoy your 01001000 virgins in robot paradise.

There are regulations against using flashbangs on people as well. Generally though, the moment you start shooting at people those sort of regulations tend to fly out the window.

Nah. When an armed suspect has barricaded himself into a place and says he's not coming out and will kill anyone who comes up, you can pretty much do anything to end the situation and it's cool.
