============================

Four Dallas police officers were killed and seven others were wounded by snipers on Thursday night during a demonstration protesting the police shootings in Minnesota and Louisiana this week, according to Chief David O. Brown of the Dallas police.

One suspect was arrested late Thursday after a shootout with the Dallas police, the Police Department said on Twitter.

A second man, whose photo the Police Department had released as a “person of interest,” had turned himself in.

Chief Brown said the shooting was carried out by two snipers who fired down on a demonstration in the city’s downtown area that until then had been peaceful.

“Some were shot in the back,” the chief said. “We believe that these suspects were positioning themselves in a way to triangulate on these officers.”

A civilian in the crowd of almost 1,000 people was also wounded.

The police were also combing downtown Dallas for what they believe was a bomb planted by the snipers as the heart of the country’s ninth-largest city was put on lockdown.
