2 Snipers Ambush, Kill 5 Officers, Injure 6 in Dallas Following Peaceful Protest
Five officers are dead – four Dallas police officers and one DART transit officer – after two snipers ambushed and opened fire on police at the end of a peaceful protest against nationwide officer-involved shootings Thursday night, officials say.
One suspect is dead, a Dallas police detective tells NBC 5 early Friday morning, and three other suspects were in custody in connection with the shooting.
At least one civilian was injured. She was identified by family as Shetamia Taylor, and she was shot while shielding her children from the gunfire, her sister told NBC 5. Taylor's condition is not known.
A bomb squad investigated at least one suspicious package in the night as part of the massive police response.
The deceased DART officer was identified as 43-year-old Officer Brent Thompson. He is the first DART officer killed in the line of duty since the transit service formed a police department in 1989.
Thompson joined DART in 2009, according to a department statement.
Eleven officers in all were shot by gunmen in what police believe to be a coordinated ambush attack that began at 8:58 p.m., at the close of a rally in solidarity with two men killed in officer-involved shootings, one in Louisiana, one in Minnesota.
Video from the scene showed officers taking cover and people in the rally scattering after gunshots were heard.
"We believe that these suspects were positioning themselves to triangulate on our officers ... and planned to injure and kill as many law enforcement officers as they could," Dallas Police Chief David Brown said at a news conference Thursday evening.
One person was taken into custody at about 11:30 p.m., Dallas police said, following an exchange of gunfire with Dallas SWAT officers. A suspicious package was located near that person, and the package was being investigated by bomb squad personnel.
Two other people were taken into custody in connection with a vehicle, Brown said
Rawlings called the shooting Dallas' "worst nightmare," Thursday night, and asked that all residents "come together and support our police officers."
Gov. Greg Abbott offered the state's assistance to Dallas overnight.
It is the deadliest day for United States law enforcement agents since the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks killed 72, NBC News reported.
The ATF and FBI have joined the investigation, authorities said.

Dallas police released a photo of a man whom they considered a "person of interest" in the shootings. The man, whose identity has not been released, surrendered to police for questioning and was later released.
Scores of police officers arrived downtown following the shooting, which took place along Main Street between and Market and Lamar streets, a block from the Old Red Courthouse building.
"I saw all the cops were bending over. There had to have been five or six cops, and they were all getting shot down. It was right after the rally, we were walking to the car," said Cortney Washington, of Dallas.
"They kept shooting. It was coming -- we didn't know where it was coming from. And I didn't see anybody else get shot. It was just the cops. I didn't see nobody else get shot," Washington said.

Dallas Police Chief David Brown just shut down his critics about using a bomb to end the standoff in a CNN interview. He has represented his officers very well.

Thanks....I like the Dallas police chief.
News folks talking about what they found in the shooter's home....among them Methamphetamine. Someone asked if they thought he was high when he murdered the policemen....Answer "I don't know if there was much left of him to test."
Blown to bits......good!

(He posted an ISIS type pic....too disgusting to place here.) He would be gone if he were on my team.
The Browns don’t believe it’s good enough for running back Isaiah Crowell to simply apologize for posting on social media an image of an attack on a police officer. The union that represents Cleveland’s police officers agrees.
Stephen Loomis, the president of Cleveland Police Patrolmen’s Association, calls Crowell’s gesture a “store-bought apology.” In comments to TMZ, Loomis also described Crowell’s post as being as “offensive as putting a picture of historical African-American men being hung from a tree in the 60s.”
Loomis has a specific suggestion for what Crowell needs to do next.
“He needs to go to Dallas, help the families who lost their loved ones last week, write them a check, look them in the eyes and give a heartfelt apology,” Loomis told TMZ. If Crowell doesn’t, there will be consequences.
“I will pull Cleveland officers, sheriffs, state troopers out of First Energy Stadium this season if he doesn’t make it right,” Loomis said. “You’re a grown-ass man, and you claim you were too emotional to know it was wrong? Think we’ll accept your apology? Kiss my ass.”
The Browns haven’t cut Crowell, presumably because they value his football skills. If he were lingering at the bottom of the roster, he’d already be gone. If the team is going to keep him, it would be wise for the Browns to encourage him to do what Loomis has requested.
