Four gunmen have shot 11 police officers – killing at least five – in a Black Lives Matter protest in downtown Dallas described by President Obama as a ‘vicious, calculated and despicable attack on law enforcement’.
One of the police officers killed in the attack has been identified as 43-year-old Dart Officer Brent Thompson.
The shooters opened fire from ‘elevated positions’, picking off officers ‘ambush style’ as they manned a protest over the deaths of two black men – Philando Castile in Minnesota and Alton Sterling in Louisiana this week, police chief David Brown said.
A gruesome video shows a heroic policeman taking on one of the gunmen, but being gunned down and shot again execution-style from point-blank range.
Three of the gunmen are in custody. A fourth man, who was engaged in a shootout with police from a parking garage at El Centro College, has killed himself with a shot to the head. The gunman told officers bombs have been planted across Dallas and that ‘the end is coming’.
Before the fourth suspect was ‘neutralized’, Brown said he told negotiators ‘the end is coming, and he is going to hurt and kill more of us and that there are bombs all over the place in the garage and downtown’.
Police are investigating the claims.
A female who was in the same area as the gunman who shot himself is in custody, however Brown said: ‘We still don’t have complete comfort that we have all the suspects.’
Police said two people are being questioned after they were spotted speeding away from the scene of the shooting in a black Mercedes. An officer saw one of the pair hurriedly putting a camouflage bag in the back of the car before driving off ‘at a high rate of speed’.
