News is just breaking, but this really doesn’t look good.
http://www.wfaa.com/mb/news/local/dallas-county/breaking-shots-fired-and-officers-down-at-downtown-dallas-protest/266881573
It’s only being covered on Fox News right now, they’re picking up a feed from KDFW in Dallas, reports now are saying 2 officers were shot at.
Now on CNN, picking up a feed from KTVT.
So that’s three local stations reporting basically the same thing.
So far, they’re saying 10 officers shot, 3 dead. Apparently there were at least two shooters firing from upper floors of parking garages and buildings.
This sounds like an assassination to me.
So, this time in Dallas there really was a second shooter?
It seems that the gunmen took full advantage of Texas’s open carry laws as their pictures are all over the news with them with rifles.
Fox has a picture of someone with a gun, but nothing about who it is or what they have to do with the story. The local Fox affiliate is reporting one perpetrator killed and negotiations with another one in tactical gear. No-one else is confirming that yet.
The Dallas Police Department sent out a picture of a person of interest, but there are also videos going around showing an identically-attired person on the streets when the shots were fired (so obviously not in a building shooting at cops).
Now it’s 4 dead, 7 wounded, for a total of 11 officers shot.
Has the entire US gone insane this week? I know people are upset by the two black men killed by police in Louisiana and Minnesota. But ambushing and murdering Dallas police officers isn’t the answer.
I hope they get everyone involved in this plot.
Well, you know what that means: Nobody was really killed, it was all crisis actors and false flags and an elaborate scheme to confiscate all of the guns in the country.
I mean, that’s the only possible answer. Anything else would be crazy talk.
Initially Reported: AR-15 with 30 round clips.
This has gotta stop.
Yep, NBC is now reporting the person pictured in the camo shirt with the AR-15 slung over his torso was on the street marching at the time shots were fired. At this point it seems doubtful he is involved in this.
Yeah, there were at least two black men wearing camo and carrying rifles in the crowd, and neither appears to have been involved in the shooting. What they were doing was 100% legal, and frankly not that extraordinary in protests (lots of right-wing protest groups walk around armed like that.)
And MSNBC is reporting via KXAS in Dallas that a loud bang has been heard in the parking garage where Dallas PD said they have a suspect cornered. At the press conference a bit ago the Dallas Chief of Police said he told negotiators there were multiple explosive devices in the area.
Sounds like suspect may have detonated something or the DPD did something to stun or kill the person they have cornered.
Live coverage has updated that another officer died in surgery. Giving 5 Dallas officers and 1 DART officer dead.
So bizarre hearing Parkland Hospital in the news again. It’s Nov 22, 1963 again.
Some wounded at Parkland and others at Baylor.
I see I’m the first person who’ll call out the OP for a biased and false thread title, eh.
dalej42, why did you call this an anti-police protest when it was not, in fact, an anti-police protest?
Nothing in your own cite refers to the event as such; why did you?
Those getting shot at, had guns.
11 cops got shot.
“If everyone had a gun, we wouldn’t see mass shootings”. Busted?
Reportedly the police have three suspects in custody, and another is cornered and is still shooting at them and claims to have bombs planted around downtown.
5 officers dead, 6 more wounded. Damn. I live ‘next door’ in Fort Worth, and was in Dallas this morning.
So much sad news this week, here and elsewhere.
