Sniper Fire Kills Four Cops at Dallas Black Lives Matter Protest

Shots from above rained down at the conclusion of a peaceful Black Lives Matter protest Thursday night, hitting 11 officers, leaving four dead and three in critical condition, authorities said.

Eleven police officers were shot and four died on Thursday night when two snipers opened fire at the conclusion of a Black Lives Matter protest in Dallas, officials said.

Two officers were in surgery and three are in critical condition, the department said. The Dallas Area Rapid Transit authority said at least four of its officers were shot and one is dead.

With three suspects in custody after midnight, at least one suspect remained at large, Dallas Police Chief David Brown said. During questioning, one of the suspects vowed to "kill and hurt" more police and said bombs were planted "all over the place." He also said that "the end is coming." Although the motive of the attack was not immediately clear, the attackers carried out a well-organized ambush. One shooter appeared to have been using a rifle, and other reports indicated another shooter was armed in tactical gear. Brown said that two suspects, who were firing from elevated positions, had threatened to plant a bomb in downtown Dallas.
