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.'

It was like someone who had rehearsed that scenario multiple times was spouting lines and making sure to calmly throw in a lot of “Sir”-this, “Sir”-that; who the heck would narrate a video like that when their boyfriend is dying 6 inches away?!

They are dead. Texas will execute them.

That's assuming a police officer was not cross with them at the time of the arrest, and that a prosecuting attorney does not run afoul of the 39th penumbra of the nine emanation at some point during the case.

He must feel not just that he was right all along, but must view himself as the only sane person in the country. As for emerging as a world leader, I think Zuckerberg has those in mind.

Well planned before the shootings in Baton Rouge and the Minneapolis-St.Paul area.

Not disagreeing, but how did the murderers know there would be a BLM protest in this particular city on this particular night?

Probably in the news. They probably scouted out the area earlier.

The headline and the first paragraph don’t even come close to being the same. Is it bombs all over the place or a bomb? Which is it?

BLM needs to be listed as a terrorist organization and George Soros as a terrorist financer. This blood is on their hands.
