Vegas partygoers, rejoice! 'Cause just hours after replacing Jon Jones at UFC 200, Anderson Silva has also agreed to take over Jones' post-fight party-hosting duties.

TMZ obtained this video of at least 9 Dallas cops taking what appears to be a possible person of interest into custody immediately after Thursday's mass shooting ... and despite crushing pressure and emotion, they keep their cool.

The man in question clearly captured the attention of police because he's wearing a bulletproof vest. We don't know if police kept the man in custody or if he had any connection to Thursday's shootings.

The scene was almost shockingly calm considering what had unfolded only moments before, but there's still tension ... you hear bystanders crying out "Do what they say!!" as the man cautiously approaches.

Nick Young got a visit from his buddy Gilbert Arenas, who was ready to celebrate Nick's new single life -- but also cracked an O.J. Simpson joke about killing Nick's baby mama, Keonna Green.

Jada Pinkett Smith seems to think the violence in Dallas was virtually inevitable, saying, "Desperate communities do desperate things."

A photog got Jada at LAX Thursday, and asked about the recent police involved shootings of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile. Her reaction was poignant. It's important to note this video was shot before the Dallas news broke in L.A.

Dallas Police Chief David Brown just confirmed the obvious ... one of the shooters was gunning to kill white people, and especially cops.

The Chief said the killer was angry over the 2 recent shootings and also upset with the Black Lives Matter movement.

The end of his comments is heart-wrenching, talking about the lack of support police feel everyday.

Syndicated radio talk show host Joe Walsh declared war on President Obama after the Dallas cop killings, saying, "This is now war. Watch out Obama. Watch out black lives matter punks. Real America is coming after you."

The former congressman went wild on Twitter last night, deleting the comment after a torrent of criticism over his remarks.

Walsh also called Obama a "cop hater" who was no different from "the thugs on the street."

Walsh was critical of the remarks Obama made Thursday night -- about racism in the criminal justice system -- claiming the comments may have triggered the sniper attack in Dallas.

He said, "Obama says cops are racist so 2 uneducated black thugs shoot 10 Dallas cops."

6:45 AM PT -- Police have ended the lockdown. Cops say an employee had passed through security with an item in a backup that appeared to be a weapon.

Once they determined it was not ... everything went back to normal.

The U.S. Capitol is on lockdown while police search for an individual -- possibly armed -- and people already in the building have been told to take shelter.

According to law enforcement there was a report of a person with a gun in a subway near Capitol. It's unclear if the person has actually entered the Capitol.

Right now authorities are saying the lockdown is being done out of "an abundance of caution."

Story developing ...

Like most people, celebrities are grieving over the Dallas murders.

Here's a sampling.

Beyonce stopped her concert in Scotland for a moment of silence in honor of the most recent alleged victims of police brutality ... before launching into her song, "Freedom."

She told the crowd in Glasgow, "Please join me in a moment of silence to acknowledge the lives of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile." The screen behind her had the names of dozens of other victims.

Dallas police have several suspects in custody, and are searching for more in the ambush-style shootings of 12 officers ... 5 of whom were killed during a protest.

The attack happened in the middle of a peaceful protest against the deaths of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile -- and police believe the shots came from snipers in elevated positions. Gunshots echoed through downtown Dallas for several minutes during the fierce battle.

Early Friday morning police said they had arrested 3 suspects and had at least one more cornered in a building. One of the suspects reportedly told police there were multiple bombs planted around the city.

Police say they did find one suspicious package which the bomb squad planned to detonate.

Police had released a photo of a man in a camouflage shirt who was walking through the protest with a rifle. Police initially called him a "person of interest," but he later turned himself in, and police now say he was not involved. Texas is an open carry state.

Nick Young's got a cold, hard fact for his baby mama -- Swaggy P's single and completely unattached, even though he knocked her up a second time.

Sources close to the NBA star tell TMZ Sports ... Nick and his ex, Keonna Green, are NOT back together. If you'll recall ... Keonna told US Weekly she wasn't apologizing "for being in love with a man who I have a lot of history with." It appears that's exactly where Nick wants to keep it -- in the history books.

We're told Nick's living it up in the single lane and wants to keep it that way so he can concentrate on the upcoming NBA season. Nick's living alone in the house he used to share with Iggy. Keonna's NOT living there.

As for Iggy'z one-finger salute the other day ... Nick's not trippin.
