Two snipers shoot 11 police officers and leave bombs all over the place during Dallas protests

Two snipers have shot 11 police officers - killing at least four - and may have planted a bomb in downtown Dallas.

The two gunmen opened fire from 'elevated positions', picking off officers 'ambush style' as they manned a protest over the deaths of two black men, police chief David Brown said.

A gruesome video shows a heroic policeman taking on one of gunmen, but being gunned down by the shooter before being shot again execution-style, from point-blank range.

Both suspects have been caught and taken into custody, with one detained following a shootout with police.

As they were detained, they are said to have told officers: 'The end is coming... and there are bombs all over the place.'

Officers found a suspicious package near where one of the gunmen was caught and a bomb squad are dealing with it.

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'.

Another man, named as Mark Hughes, was pictured walking through Dallas with what appeared to be an assault rifle. He turned himself into police after cops made a public appeal and his family said he was an innocent bystander.

Four police officers have died and as many as three others are in a critical condition. A member of the public was also shot.

'Our worst nightmare has happened,' Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings said. 'It is a heartbreaking moment for the city of Dallas.'

Sorry man. That’s rough.

We’re both tough be we can’t be the ones to physically take on the challenge this time.

I dont know if this generation of European decendants is up to it.

I know the Italians and Irish are all crazy out here and it would be a massacre. But that’s only an island of 500k people.

I’m not well traveled and dont know what the teens and 20 somethings in the rest of the country are like.

I hear a ton of sirens outside.

Of course Gov Abbott could declare martial law in a 2 mile radius of the shootings. Send in the national guard, and cull some of the excess ‘noise’.

When Obama spoke this afternoon, his speech reminded me of the one our first black mayor,Tom Bradley made about the Rodney King incident,

That night, after the speech, a massive riot.

But we know the real cause of violence and terrorism is the availability of guns, the NRA, and white privilege. /sarcasm

Did anyone other than me find it very ODD how the media was parroting how “peaceful” the BLM protests would be leading up to tonight? Almost as if it were scripted or something?

“Peaceful protest” pisses me off every time I hear it.

They are saying “Pay no attention to the flying rocks, molotov cocktails and buildings on fire. This is a PEACEFUL PROTEST.”

Orwellian bull spit.

Perhaps a combination? Certainly sounds more like Islamic terrorism with the explosive devices.
