Eleven Dallas law enforcement officers were
shot, four fatally, by what is believed to be two snipers who opened
fire during a demonstration downtown over recent police shootings in
Minnesota and Louisiana, the Dallas police chief said.
The snipers fired from an elevated positions on
police officers minutes before 9 p.m., Dallas Police Chief David Brown
told reporters.
"We believe that these suspects were positioning
themselves in a way to triangulate on these officers from two different
perches in garages in the downtown area, and planned to injure and kill
as many law enforcement officers as they could," he said. Some were
shot in the back.
Police have cornered one of the suspected shooters in a parking garage, Brown said, and were negotiating with him.
Brown said police believe the suspects may have
threatened to have plant a bomb in the downtown area, and were in
contact with the FBI and federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms
and Explosives.
