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.'

Follow the money.

I’d give 10:1 odds it leads to the White House.

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

Who would've thought whipping the most violent sector of our society into murderous frenzy would result in something like this?! #Dallas

They are dead. Texas will execute them. Watch for the feds to call it terrorism, try to grab jurisdiction so they can spare their lives.

Officials theorize Dallas shootings may be result of homophobic messages in heavily Christianized mass media

Me too.

We have to donate and vote and get people to vote, if there is an election.

Honestly, I dont know what this MANIAC America elected is up to!!!!

I will make more calls for him and try to donate a few more bucks.

If she wins, I expect a leader to prepare and organize us for what comes. HE BETTER NOT LOSE!

There is a video of one perp at street level shooting a police officer in front of a parking garage. So if there are two snipers up high, there was another at street level.

I sure hope Texas tells the Feds to back off... unfortunately TX has become rather a pushover of late.
(Remember the "border crisis" a while back? Or very recent the USSC decision that was essentially "we don't like you having any restrictions at all on abortion!"?)
