============================
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.
