More details emerged after five police officers were killed while working at a Black Lives Matter (BLM) protest in downtown Dallas last 7 July. They were all shot by a gunman who said he carried out the attack to revenge the two police-related deaths of black men.
Authorities have identified the shooter as Micah Xavier Johnson, a 25-year-old from Texas with no criminal history or ties to terror groups. Johnson was eventually cornered at El Centro College and police attempted to negotiate with him, but four hours later the talks failed and a robot was brought in to detonate a bomb and kill the suspect.
