Snipers kill 5 Dallas police officers in coordinated attack

Dallas

AT least one sniper in Dallas killed five police officers and wounded seven more in a coordinated attack that ended when police used a bomb to kill a shooter who told them that he wanted to kill white officers, authorities said on Friday.

The attack came during one of several protests across the United States against the killing of two black men by police this week, the latest in a long string of killings that gave rise to the Black Lives Matter movement.
