I'm pretty convinced, from what I've heard anyway, that the whole thing was improvised. That police bomb was something the bomb squad had in stock for sympathetic detonations, as oncemore mentioned earlier.
People are saying that he was trapped in a parking garage, firing at police and saying he wanted to "kill white people and police" and that he had set IED's. I haven't heard any confirmation that he had actually set IED's, though. Someone said that police sharpshooters couldn't get a clear shot at him.
That said, is there a reason they didn't try to wait cordone the area and wait him out?
