micdotcom: micdotcom: micdotcom: micdotcom: micdotcom: Two police officers reportedly shot at the Dallas #BlackLivesMatter protest Early reports suggest an assault rifle was used at the end of the rally, which, until that point, had been peaceful. One suspected shooter has been reportedly shot down, with the on-going pursuit of a potential second shooter. This story is breaking and will be updated. Update: Raw footage posted by those present show police officers and civilians frantically running, while some duck behind a car for cover. Multiple gunshots can be heard in another video taken on the scene. Update: No motive or affiliation with #BlackLivesMatter has been stated. Images from earlier in the protest that surfaced on Twitter showed a peaceful scene, with police officers stopping to pose for pictures alongside protesters. Update: The above image is a statement by the DPD’s Chief David O. Brown. 3 officers are dead and 10 are wounded after two snipers opened fire following police brutality protest. CBS DFW has quoted a witness who provided a detailed, first-hand account. Update: The Dallas shooting started as a peaceful protest, not a #BlackLivesMatter attack. Unfortunately, people were quick to blame the protesters for the shootings, despite reports that the shooting was carried out by snipers separate from the protest. -- source link
