EDIT: *CURRENTLY* UBER IS OFFERING FREE RIDES TO CERTAIN SECURED ZONES TO HELP PEOPLE GET HOME, TWO SUSPECTS IN CUSTODY, THE ORIGINAL PERSON OF INTEREST TURNED HIMSELF IN, HIGHWAYS HAVE NOW BEEN CLEARED DALLAS POLICE HAVE CONTACTED FBI AND ATF TO HELP SEARCH FOR ADDITIONAL EXPLOSIVES, A LOUD BANG WAS HEARD AT EL CENTRO COLLEGE, POSSIBLE POLICE RAID, THE FINAL ACTIVE SHOOTER HAS BEEN NEUTRALIZED, UNKNOWN WHETHER THAT IS DEATH OR SUBDUAL
THERE IS A BOMB WATCH RELATED TO THIS INCIDENT, A SUSPICIOUS PACKAGE WAS DISCOVERED NEAR A SUSPECT WHO ENGAGED IN A SHOOTOUT WITH SWAT OFFICERS, THAT SUSPECT HAS BEEN TAKEN INTO CUSTODY, THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST DEADLY SHOOTINGS, EL CENTRO COLLEGE WILL BE CLOSED TODAY (7/8/16)
11 OFFICERS SHOT, 5 KILLED, 3 IN SURGERY, 3 IN CRITICAL CONDITION, 1 CIVILIAN SHOT 2 SNIPERS FIRING FROM AN ELEVATED POSITION. SHOOTING BEGAN AFTER PEACEFUL PROTEST ENDED, CIVILIANS HAVE BEEN GROUPED TOGETHER BY POLICE, DART POLICE HAD CLEARED THE AIRSPACE AROUND THE AREA, CURRENTLY THE SCENE IS UNDER DALLAS JURISDICTION, SOON TO BE TAKEN OVER BY FEDERAL AUTHORITIES DUE TO BEING A MASS SHOOTING BY FEDERAL STATUTE, SOME SUSPECTS HAVE BEEN RELEASED FROM CUSTODY
FOR THE FUTURE: Some items that are or will being discussed: will lone patrols (a single officer per car on patrol) continue, or is the threat high enough to warrant 2 officers per car. How will this influence peaceful protesters and protocol used by police to maintain the peace? Will this change how officers are outfitted, ie increased weaponry/armor in the short term? Will this cause a more urgent reform (if any comes to fruition) in how suspects/persons of interest/arrested individual are treated. Will this cause stricter or looser gun control?
IF THERE ARE ANY ERRORS, PLEASE POST A COMMENT AND TAG ME OR SEND A DM
*begin press meet* Mayor: White house and Feds has offered assistance
Police Chief: currently in negotiations with suspect, suspect has been exchanging gunfire with negotiators, looking for resolution plans, have in custody female near scene, pulled over car containing 2 black bags (believed to be explosives), suspect has told negotiators "the end is coming," he "will kill all of you (law enforcement)," and "there are explosives all over" the parking garage and downtown Dallas.
Mayor: tomorrow morning, still active crime scene, still determining the size. If you work in Dallas, please avoid the crime scene, which will be posted to dallascitynews.net tomorrow morning. Apologies if you work in that area.
Questions: Chief: Interrogation of suspects will continue, however there has been a lack of cooperation. The suspects likely had knowledge of the route the march (and law enforcement) would take. Social media has and will continue to be monitored to discover any prior planning and/or duplicity. *end press meet*
Chief/Mayor "Do not know what motivated the attack." There will be another press event in the morning.
Live updates are concluded, my thoughts go out to Brent Thompson and the four other officers whose names have not been released.

Shhhhhh stop making sense.

MLK would be so disappointed. I am very much for a peaceful protest. This breaks my heart.
thebadcarcrash
Resident of Central Dallas here. All I have to say is fuck anyone who puts their ideals above the protection of their fellow citizens.
thebadcarcrash
I take it personally that someone intended to kill the designated protectors of me, my family, friends, and any and all other proud citizens
thecmerrilees
Well one was done in the heat of the moment under debatable circumstances. The other was planned executions

Black lives don't matter to black people.
BoobiesMeow
Stats prove otherwise! Oh wait, nvm.
Ilovegold
If people cannot understand a few bad cops don't represent the thousands of police officers out there then these people don't deserve 1/2
Ilovegold
2/2 police protection. Lets remove all the cops from areas where people don't like them and see what happens.
ekiqa
But the police protect the bad apples. The law protects the bad apples. Their unions protect their bad apples. Something needs to be done
peppergrinder
People who aren't posing threats will stop being murdered by those who should be protecting and serving instead of executing?
Justonemoredrinkypoobud
Sigh. Look, another shooting. Pretty sad when these headlines dont surprise or shock me anymore. Turn on news "where was the shooting today"
societysunwanted
chaos theory, nothing will be accomplished otherwise
Rosencrantz11
This should not be about who had the gun, but why
Nick11235
There are ongoing interrogations and investigations as to the motivations, personally (with no source) I think it's pent up hostility 1/2
Nick11235
towards the police, and they will use the Boca Raton incident as an excuse/final motive
Johnny5dicks
Misleading title. Snipers fired on Dallas and DART officers AFTER the protest. DART is the public transit system.
Nick11235
Ok, the title should be updated
Nick11235
Thanks, that was in the description, I'm changing the title now
Nick11235
/a/3ZKvM A link showing the updated title on my screen, despite not changing
Nick11235
The gallery title isn't changing even though the album and edit post titles show the change as SHOOTING IN DALLAS, LIVE UPDATES
YoSoyMilk
Pump the breaks. Nobody knows who they are or why they did it. It happened at a protest but nobody knows if they were protestors.
Nick11235
It happened after the protest, to my knowledge they aren't affiliated with the protest (which was nonviolent)

*edit* if you were referring to the title, I tried updating it but it isn't working. I corrected it in the image title

Stupid post. Do you know that they were protesters? They were just crazy people starting shit

To my knowledge they were not involved with the protest in any way. I will repost a comment I made earlier about the title. 1/2
SamSummerJunkie
@op is a misleading cunt. Fixed your title otherwise your message will be ignores
Nick11235
I am reposting a comment I made earlier (when the shootings were occurring)
Nick11235
(not reposted comment) I can not change the gallery title, so I tried to show that it changed with the image title

Everyone needs to get this in their heads: If a few people do some bad shit, that doesn't make the entire group bad. This goes both ways.
GoodTofuFriday
But those few people do endanger the lives of those associated woth them.
Zippla
So sad. This only makes the situation worse all around

I find it problematic to compare civilians organizations (BLM & Police) to international terrorist organizations.
NSAOverlord
Hopefully the FBI doesn't "help" like in the case of Hillary.
Nick11235
To my knowledge they will help with the ongoing investigation and, along with ATF, the search for additional explosives
NSAOverlord
That sounds productive, unlike their involvement with the Hillary investigation.

Ilovegold
Can you give us a link to where they say it was a white guy?
Nick11235
2 snipers, shooting started after protest ended
Totallyscrewedinaustin
They've said on TV that there were 2 shooters?
Talonotw
Of course it was. Just like the shooter in orlando was allegedly a white guy until it couldn't be claimed anymore.
MySpiritAnimalisBillMurray
They were shooting at everyone- protestors and cops. Probably trying to start a firefight.
Nick11235
To my knowledge only officers have been harmed, if I am wrong please tell me so I can add it to my post
MySpiritAnimalisBillMurray
At least one civilian shot. Its on the Dallas PD twitter/facebook. Approx 2 shooters from above using sniper rifles.
Nick11235
Thanks, I added it to the post. I think my post is off rising though so I don't think it'll get much more traffic
MySpiritAnimalisBillMurray
No worries, just glad to have information spread. People are already blaming protestors, which was probably the shooters plan.
Pikachoochoo
Black lives matter (the organization, not the belief) is ridiculous and just fuels the fire of aggression. They're ill minded.
TheJudgeHasItBackwards
They don't allow for dissent or conversation, they just yell the same thing over and over again, louder and louder. The message gets lost.
Pikachoochoo
A lot of uneducated, backwards folk don't mind down voting thoughts like this. Just as bad as the "all lives matter!" people.
TheJudgeHasItBackwards
Good thing I have not two shits to give about fake internet points. Or backward, uneducated folks.
Backstagepimp
As a resident of the metroplex, I'm just disgusted.
Dontracemebrah
But of course this shit would only happen in Dallas and maybe Houston. Would never happen in downtown Fort Worth.
ShlippyDippyDoo
Similarly displeased as a metroplexian
Backstagepimp
I'm out in Plano. Was grilling burgers and playing with the pup at my moms place. She comes out and says look what's on fox.
Ghostwish
Another from Dallas, reporting in. Please don't let there be any more deaths...
Backstagepimp
Out grabbing a pizza and a beer at a local restaurant and seeing 11 injured and 4 killed is killing me. When I left it was 3-6 shot.
MySpiritAnimalisBillMurray
Shots came from above the crowd- looks like they shot at police and protestors... hoping for a shoot out? Not from someone in the protest.
Nick11235
To my knowledge only officers have been harmed in this exchange if I am wrong please tell me so I can add it to my post
Nick11235
*edit* as far as I am aware, 1 civilian has been shot, non-lethal
Nick11235
*edit* if you were referring to the title, I tried to change it, but it isn't updating, so I posted an alert in the image title
MySpiritAnimalisBillMurray
Good job on covering it all!
Nick11235

AcidExfoliate
Because our accountable-to-no-one, authoritarian occupying force needs to be brought to heel and shown they must behave civilly or else.
AcidExfoliate
Thats how.

Not my thumbnail, literally copied the OP word for word until the final edit
Captaindoodoo
What the hell
ArcaneConjecture
Cops are just bureaucrats with guns. Why can't self-styled "conservatives" understand this?
Ilovegold
That's just like your opinion man
AcidExfoliate
I'm not a conservative. And I'd support shooting back at Bureaucrats who murdered a couple hundred people a year too.
ArcaneConjecture
I don't mean you. I mean self-styled "conservatives" who hate Big Government...unless Big Government is killing Blacks.
AcidExfoliate
Oh, cool, DV exchanged for UV. I totally agree. Im afraid we're about to see Texas "Protect Cops from Blacks" by Passing some BS new laws...
