| Associated Press has this news on Shetamia Taylor, the only civilian reported to have been wounded in the shooting. She was shot in the leg but her injuries are not thought to be life-threatening: | |
| A family member says a protester who was shot when snipers opened fire on police at a rally in Dallas was shielding her sons when she was injured. | |
| A sister of 37-year-old Shetamia Taylor says Taylor was at the protests on Thursday night with her four sons, ages 12 to 17. Theresa Williams says that when the shooting began, Taylor threw herself over her sons. She was undergoing surgery early Friday after being shot in the right calf. | |
| Williams says two of Taylor’s sons became separated from their mother in the chaotic aftermath. She says they’re now stuck behind a police barricade at a hotel near a parking garage where police exchanged gunfire with a suspect. | |
