Following the death of two American black men this week killed by police officers on duty, there has been nationwide protest across the United States with #Blacklivesmatter.
Last night, four gunman have shot 11 police officers - killing at least five officers. The coordinated shooters 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.
Three of the gunmen are in custody. A fourth man, who was engaged in a shootout with police from a parking garage, has killed himself with a shot to the head. The gunman told officers bombs have been planted across Dallas and that 'the end is coming'. Officers found a suspicious package near where one of the gunmen was caught and a bomb squad are dealing with it.
A gruesome video (links) 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.
As many as three officers are in critical condition and a female member of the public was also shot. It is not known if the shooters were protesters, however they appear to have been militarily trained. Their motive is not clear.
