Following the shooting of Dallas police officers on July 7, 2016, the station was closed during the investigation of the nearby crime scene. Trains were stopping at all transit mall stations except West End, which they passed through during the incident. News outlets reported that ridership was lower than normal just after the attacks at nearby stations such as Akard, St. Paul, and &lt;a href="Pearl/Arts%20District%20%28DART%20station%29"&gt;Pearl/Arts District&lt;/a&gt;, typically busy stations during the morning rush hour.
