Did dinosaurs evolve into birds before or after a meteor killed all the dinosaurs?

Birds evolved in the late Jurassic Period about 150 to 145 million years ago. This was about 90 to 95 million years before the asteroid impact that marked the K-T extinction event.
Just a sub note that most scientist recognise that birds are a specialised branch of the therapod dinosaur. Birds are dinosaurs in the same way cats are mammals.
