Downtown Dallas was in lockdown Friday after snipers shot 12
officers, five fatally, during a protest over the deadly police
shootings of black men elsewhere in the country this week.

The ambush marked the deadliest day for law enforcement since Sept. 11, 2001.
Three people were in custody and a fourth
suspect exchanged gunfire with authorities in a parking garage at El
Centro Community College into the morning, Dallas Police Chief David
Brown said.
The fourth suspect was killed at around 2:45
a.m. (3:45 a.m. ET). Earlier, he had told police negotiators that “the
end is coming” and that “there are bombs all over the place in this
garage and downtown,” Brown said.
President Barack Obama, who was in Poland for a NATO meeting, condemned the “vicious, callous and despicable attack.”
