Dallas police shot in protest over fatal police shootings of black men
THERE is chaos in Dallas as reports surface that two police officers were shot in a protest over two recent fatal police shootings of black men.
The extent of their injuries is currently unknown, but the shooting took place in downtown Dallas just before the end of the rally, at about 9pm.
Fox News reports protestors were chanting “F**k the police” before the shooting.
The gunfire broke out about 8.45pm Thursday.
Live TV video showed protesters marching along a street when the shots erupted and the crowd scattered, seeking cover. There was no immediate word on whether anyone had been injured.
Scores of police and security officers were on hand. Police and others hunched behind cars outside a parking garage. Officers with guns drawn were running near and into a carpark as police searched for the shooter.
“Oh my God, I mean we’re all seeing this together,” one reporter could be heard during a live cross.
“This is not clear, it is not clear, it’s not clear to me what we are seeing but the situation is escalaiting. That officer is not moving.”
