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.
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.’
