Snipers kill 4 cops in Dallas during protest against police shootings
Two snipers in Dallas fired at 10 cops, killing four and injuring others during a protest against police shootings of black men, the Dallas police chief said in a statement. A statement earlier by the Dallas Police chief stated that three officers had been killed.
“Three officers are deceased, two are in surgery and three are in critical condition. An intensive search for suspects is currently underway,” David Brown, chief of Dallas city police, said in the statement.
The gunfire broke out around 8:45 PM on Thursday. Live TV video showed protesters marching along a street in downtown when the shots erupted and the crowd scattered, seeking cover.
Scores of police and security officers were on hand. Police and others hunched behind cars outside a parking garage.
Officers with guns drawn were running near and into the parking garage as police searched for the shooter.
On Wednesday, a Minnesota officer fatally shot Philando Castile while he was in a car with a woman and a child in a St. Paul suburb. The aftermath of the shooting was purportedly livestreamed in a widely shared Facebook video.
