Two police officers have reportedly been shot in Dallas at a Black Lives Matter march in the wake of the killings of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile. | |
One officer at the scene told Fox News 4 in Dallas that at least two officers were wounded. A representative for the DPD was not immediately available to confirm those reports. | |
The suspect is still at large and this is considered by police to be an ongoing active shooter situation. Police are on the lookout for a “man with a rifle”, according to CBS DFW. | |
A representative for DART, the Dallas public transportation system, tweeted that bus and rail service has been suspended “due to criminal activity”. | |
Several videos with audible gunshots surfaced on social media on Thursday night. Both police and reporters could be seen taking cover in footage livestreamed on their websites. | |
The shooter reportedly waited for protesters to pass before opening fire on police officers, according to a bystander who spoke to WFAA. | |
