Micah Johnson

Several dozen protesters marched through downtown Dallas on Friday to protest police violence toward African-Americans while also paying homage to five police officers slain by a sniper during a demonstration earlier this month.

The Army reservist who killed five Dallas police officers had kept an unauthorized grenade in his room on an Afghanistan base in 2014, according to a report by Army officials investigating a sexual harassment complaint against him.

Funerals are set to begin for the five officers killed by a sniper during a protest last week in downtown Dallas.

When Micah Johnson opened fire on Dallas police in an act of vengeance against white officers, he was attacking a department whose Chief had been lauded across the country for taking bold steps to root out bad cops and repair relations with minorities.

The Dallas gunman was plotting a major bomb attack, authorities said, urging calm as hundreds of people were arrested in weekend protests in US cities over police violence against African-Americans.

The suspect in the deadly attack on Dallas police officers scrawled letters in his own blood on the walls of the parking garage where officers cornered and later killed him, the police chief said Sunday.

The gunman who fatally shot five Dallas law enforcement officers appeared delusional, taunted police during extensive negotiations by singing and "laughing at us" and wrote cryptic messages on a wall with his own blood before he was killed by a bomb-equipped robot, Dallas Police Chief David Brown said Sunday.

More than 200 people were arrested in chaotic scenes during a new night of protests over US police violence towards blacks as authorities revealed today that the Dallas shooter had apparently been plotting a major bomb attack.

The gunman who killed five police officers at a protest march received training from a private self-defense school in Texas, a school official said Saturday at the academy that teaches firearm tactics, including "shooting on the move," a maneuver in which an attacker fires and changes position before firing again.

In a green camouflage shirt and an AR-15 strapped across his chest, Mark Hughes attended a Dallas demonstration against excessive use of force by police as an activist of open-carry, a recently-expanded Texas law that allows licensed gun owners to openly carry rifles, shotguns and pistols.

Vice President Joe Biden today praised the five Dallas cops killed at a demonstration against police brutality, and also urged Americans to rally against disparities in the US criminal justice system.

The Dallas sniper had been sent home from Afghanistan after being accused of sexually harassing a female, and was described as a loner who followed black militant groups on social media.

Former US Army reservist Micah Xavier Johnson posted an angry rant against white people on the Facebook page of a group called Black Panther Party Mississippi last Saturday, denouncing lynching and the brutalizing of black people.

The targeted killing of five police officers at a protest in Dallas late Thursday was the work of a lone gunman, authorities said Friday, a brutal and methodical act of racial hatred intended as revenge for perceived racial disparity. Before he was killed by a robot-delivered bomb, he told negotiators he had been motivated by police killings of bla...

A black US military veteran of the Afghan war who said he wanted to "kill white people" apparently acted alone in a sniper attack that killed five police officers at a protest in Dallas decrying police shootings of black men, officials said on Friday.
