Dallas Shooting: The fatal shootings of two African-American men by police in Louisiana and Minnesota resulted in the demonstration which turned into a standoff between Dallas Police and attacking snipers . 3 suspects are already is custody but a 4th sniper is in downtown Garage and authorities are negotiating with the suspect.
Dallas Police Chief David Brown said, “A total of 11 police officers were shot by snipers during the protests of which 5 of them are dead. The suspect has told our negotiators that the end is coming, more officers are going to be hurt, and there are bombs planted all over downtown Dallas.” Brown said.
“We believe that these suspects were positioning themselves in a way to triangulate on these officers from two different perches in garages in the downtown area, and planned to injure and kill as many law enforcement officers as they could,” he told a news conference noting that some were shot in the back. There may be other suspects at large. “We still don’t have a complete comfort level that we have all the suspects,” Brown said. Police were in contact with the FBI and federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, Brown said.
