Dallas: Multiple Snipers Ambush, Kill 5 Officers, Injure 11
July 7th, 2016
Via: NBC:
Dallas police were locked in a standoff early Friday after snipers shot 11 officers, five fatally, during a protest over recent shootings in Minnesota and Louisiana.
Three people were in custody and a fourth suspect was exchanging gunfire with authorities in a parking garage downtown, Dallas Police Chief David Brown said.
The remaining suspect “has told our negotiators that the end is coming, and he is going to hurt and kill more of us, meaning law enforcement, and that there are bombs all over the place in this garage and downtown,” Brown said.
At least two snipers fired from an elevated positions on police officers minutes before 9 p.m. CT, according to Brown. He described the shootings as “ambush style.”
“We believe that these suspects were positioning themselves in a way to triangulate on these officers from two different perches in garages in the downtown area, and planned to injure and kill as many law enforcement officers as they could,” he told a news conference — noting that some were shot in the back.

Fox showed a clip of one of the shooters shooting an officer. The shooter was on the sidewalk, using cover, shooting and moving.
FWIW, as someone who has taken more than 75 hours of rifle training, the shooter was moving like someone who has been trained; alternating sides of cover, pinning the cop with fire and maneuvering against him while fireing, then pushing through the downed officer’s position while taking fire from other officers.
