Police Officer Brent Thompson of the Dallas Area
Rapid Transit Police Department, Senior Corporal
Lorne Ahrens, Police Officer Michael Krol,
Sergeant Michael Smith, and Police Officer
Patrick Zamarripa of the Dallas Police
Department were shot and killed by an active
shooter during a protest in downtown Dallas.
As the protesters walked down Main Street
between South Lamar Street and South Market
Street, a sniper opened fire on police officers
who were providing security for the event. The
man shot a total of 12 officers, killing five
and wounding seven.
The subject was cornered in an adjacent parking
garage and barricaded himself inside for several
hours while he spoke to negotiators, during
which time he stated he specifically targeted
white police officers. He was killed when the
Dallas Police Department's Bomb Squad moved an
explosive device to the man's location using a
robot and detonated it. |
