On Friday, the Norwalk Police Department's detective bureau learned of the Facebook posts. Officers later identified their author as Kurt Vanzuuk, police said. The posts indicated that the Dallas shooter was a hero and called for police officers to be killed, police said.

Detectives obtained a warrant for Vanzuuk’s arrest on Saturday, and officers subsequently took him into custody, police said.

Vanzuuk was charged with inciting injury to persons or property. His bond was set at $20,000 with a court date of July 19, police said.
