1. Yes it is. 2 cops shot. More families ruined. Not good.

[nolabear]

2. It is. It's the last thing people need. I hope the officers are all right.

I swear we seem to be reaching a tipping point of overwhelming attacks, physical, psychological, political...it's horrifying.

[deathrind]

3. +1

[morningfog]

4. 3-6 officers shot, but doesn't seem confirmed.

[Purveyor]

7. With the amount of shots I heard on replay, I'll be surprised if not more... nt

[ChisolmTrailDem]

10. Also reporting shooter on the loose and may have been multiple shooters. nt

[still_one]

17. CNN is reporting that it appears multiple officers shot

[zz-la]

5. It's unfortunate that we have reached this point

Bad cops doing bad things in all cops names. Now we have reached the boiling point. This is what happens when we fail to prosecute the guilty, it casts a shadow over all of law enforcement and sadly over all of us as well.

Heck Meagan Kelly of freaking Fox news just said some cops are good and some of them are bad and the good ones are paying the price for the bad ones. So sad.

12. Do you watch FOX regularly?

[zz-la]

13. no I usually try not to

But they are the only national news network that has been showing the shooting in Dallas, at least earlier. I believe CNN has it now also so I have switched over to CNN.

16. Is that really your biggest concern right now?

[pipoman]

33. What are you doing that is so time consuming?

Color me a pessimist, I am always skeptical of a 2 day member who references faux....

Is my post really your biggest concern right now? No? Then why did you post? LOL...doh!

32. May be in that area of Fed Bldg.. they are not saying anything since that statement.

It sounds like news is moving too rapid to be certain.
Ya know how that goes as things unfold.
Latest update is that they have a pic of a person of interest to show asap.
Armed & do not approach.
I believe one sniper is in negotiations with SWAT. Last report on my local Dallas news.

Also 11 officers shot..3 officers deceased.
Just updated.

Sad days & nights for many.
It must stop.

[rocktivity]

34. I had a feeling we weren't dealing with a professional civilian

Hooray for me...

11. protesting violence.....with violence

nothing learned

[ChisolmTrailDem]

14. New report from a reporter whose sources say there are multiple police injuries. nt

[Rhiannon12866]

18. MSNBC said 2 officers shot, 7 others injured

But Lawrence O'Donnell said some of the other injuries could be people who fell while running, no specifics yet.

[ChisolmTrailDem]

19. Thank you, Rhiannon, just saw that. nt

[Rhiannon12866]

21. You more than welcome, looks like they're continuing live coverage

I just got home an hour ago, so I came to DU to figure out what this was all about, sounds just horrible!

[ChisolmTrailDem]

22. It's been a horrible week so far, Rhiannon. We still need to find out who the shooters are.

Racists on Twitter are blaming Black Lives Matter and calling the terrorists.

SMH.

[Rhiannon12866]

24. I guess so! Read the news on the shootings last night on DU

And Lawrence O'Donnell has been explaining what the protests were about. It sounds like a nightmare which is what the reporter on MSNBC just said. And Lawrence just said 4 officers were shot and one has died.

[Rhiannon12866]

26. When I want to know what's really going on, I look at DU

It's an incredible resource and folks here are usually very informed.

[herding cats]

20. This is so messed up.

My thoughts are with the all the victims and their families tonight.

[Stinky The Clown]

23. Confirmed by NBC News: 4 officers shot. I has died.

[zz-la]

25. RIP to that officers family.

Hope no one else dies.

[Stinky The Clown]

27. Update: TEN cops shot. Three have died.
