[ChisolmTrailDem]

OMG!

It just gets worse!

[Renew Deal]

1. Who is reporting this?

[Rhiannon12866]

2. MSNBC said this comes from the Dallas police chief n/t

[ChisolmTrailDem]

3. Channel 5 in Dallas from their sources in the hot zone. nt

[oswaldactedalone]

4. 10 cops shot

3 dead. 2 snipers confirmed.

[Rhiannon12866]

7. MSNBC is reporting the same thing from the Dallas police chief. n/t

[ChisolmTrailDem]

11. Thanks again Rhiannon, I was trying to listen to the scanner when they said it was...

...coming from the police cheif.

[Rhiannon12866]

13. You have better sources than I do, I just turned on the TV

MSNBC has been talking to their producer in Fort Worth interrupted by live video that is pretty horrific!

[ChisolmTrailDem]

15. Yea, looks like they've caught up with the story now that they have a man on the scene. And...

...yes, this is horrific. And it's going to make the whole racial tension in this country worse and fingers begin being pointed and blame is volleyed around.

[Rhiannon12866]

19. It sure is, shootings at a protest because of shootings

No one wins in a situation like this...

[drray23]

5. now its 10 officers shot. 3 dead. several others critical.nt.

[alcibiades_mystery]

6. Gotta think these snipers are former military, no?

That's a lot of hits from range.

[ChisolmTrailDem]

9. And they targeted only police. Witness just said on Channel 5 Dallas that the crowd...

...was leaving the rally and only the group of cops was targeted, right beside where they were walking as they were leaving the Black Lives Matter rally.

[B2G]

8. No suspects in custody. Nt

[herding cats]

10. 10 shot in total.

3 dead.

This is horrific!

[rollin74]

12. just fucking horrible

[flamingdem]

14. Report still looking for shooters

on cnn but msnbc says one suspect is negotiating.

[herding cats]

16. It's all very muddled still.

I've seen reports one dead, one missing. One dead, one in negotiations. Two dead.

It's very muddled!

[Rhiannon12866]

20. MSNBC said 10 officers shot and three have died.

[herding cats]

24. I saw that on the local Dallas feed.

Two were in surgery, and three were critical, also.

I just can't bear this.

[Rhiannon12866]

26. They just had live video on MSNBC from some brave soul on the scene

This is as horrific as it gets!

[herding cats]

34. I'm equally appalled and terrified.

This is so very tragic, and yet terrifying in more ways than one.

I want these people caught and brought to justice for horrors they've wrecked on everyone impacted tonight!

[Rhiannon12866]

39. The police chief is reporting live now.

This is as bad as it gets, I agree. 11 officers shot, 3 dead, they are showing a photo of a suspect, said one is "cornered." There were 2 shooters in a parking garage from different angles at police.

[littlebit]

29. Now they are saying 11

And someone is still shooting.

[Rhiannon12866]

32. I just heard that too and they showed a photo of a possible suspect. n/t

[herding cats]

36. 4 dead now.

[840high]

41. So sad.

[herding cats]

42. Tragic, and life changing events tonight.

I haven't entirely processed it all yet, but sad works for now.

[840high]

43. I was in tears when I watched

videos of the 2 black men killed. Am in tears again.

[herding cats]

44. I've been crying, too. I fully understand.

I can't keep processing all this horrible, uncalled for, death on a daily basis. I'm so worried for the people I love, and now all this unnecessary brutal murder tonight on top of it all, which makes me even more terrified for my loved ones well being for just going about their daily lives.

I can't articulate my grief for everyone yet. I'm just so raw tonight. The best I can do to explain is say I'm scared, hurting and angry. For multiple reasons on various levels. I can say I am grieving with all those who've lost their loved ones. I've been there, and I know the pain they're enduring.

[ChisolmTrailDem]

17. Looks like the shooters let loose and then retreated and disappeared. nt

[flamingdem]

21. This was not suicide by cop

Can you imagine they never find them?

[ChisolmTrailDem]

23. Not finding the shooters would probably be the absolute worst outcome, with...

...everyone blaming everyone else and racists will blame BLM and take up arms, etc.

It's horrific!

[Rhiannon12866]

28. 11th officer shot and shooting is continuing per MSNBC

[Nevernose]

18. It's going to take the FBI to sort this out

No suspects, no descriptions, nothing. This will be like the OKC bombing, with the FBI pulling ATM and 7-11 cameras. Or the Tsarnaev brothers.

(Or such is my guess)

[flamingdem]

22. Catching Mcveigh took dumb luck

these guys might be smart and get away cleanly

[Nevernose]

25. 21st Century

There's far more camera coverage than I think most of us are comfortable knowing about. At the very least, traffic cams should have their car. They probably didn't take the bus carrying AR-15s (or whatever).

With ten cops shot, there's no way these guys get away.

[flamingdem]

30. True, they have to be identified

at the very least.

[Rhiannon12866]

33. MSNBC has a photo of a suspect, said one is "cornered" now. n/t

[ChisolmTrailDem]

38. See my new OP. nt

[Rhiannon12866]

40. Thanks! n/t

[Rhiannon12866]

31. They are awaiting a press conference per MSNBC

But they also said the shooting is still ongoing.

[melman]

27. Four dead now

[OhioBlue]

35. This is horrible!

[Rhiannon12866]

37. Police chief David Brown and the mayor are having a press conference now on MSNBC. n/t
