| Dallas shooting: Bomb material found at suspect's home | |
| (35 minutes later) | |
| Bomb-making material, rifles, ammunition and combat journal have been found at the home of the main suspect in the Dallas shooting. | |
| Police said the material was found when they searched the home of Micah Johnson in the Dallas suburb of Mesquite. | |
| Five police officers were killed and seven wounded in a hail of gunfire during a protest against the shooting of black men by police. | |
| Johnson died following a long stand-off with police in central Dallas. | |
| Police confirmed media reports that the 25-year-old army veteran was the person killed when they remotely detonated explosives they sent into his hideaway near the scene of the shooting. | |
| They said he had no criminal history. | |
| Earlier, Police Chief David Brown said the suspect had told a negotiator that he had wanted to kill white people, especially white police officers, because he was angry about the recent shootings of black men by police. | |
| Mr Brown added that the man had said he was not affiliated with any groups and he had acted alone. | |
| US Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson appeared to confirm this in a statement later on Friday. | |
| "At this time there appears to have been one gunman with no known links to or inspiration from any international terrorist organisation," he told a news conference in New York. |
