A second slain officer was named by his family as young father Patrick Zamarripa.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The shooters opened fire from &#8216;elevated positions&#8217;, picking off officers &#8216;ambush style&#8217; as they manned a protest over the deaths of two black men &#8211; Philando Castile in Minnesota and Alton Sterling in Louisiana this week, police chief David Brown said. &#8216;Some officers were shot in the back,&#8217; he added.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">A gruesome video shows a heroic policeman taking on one of the gunmen, but being gunned down and shot again execution-style from point-blank range.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Three of the gunmen are in custody. A fourth man, who was engaged in a shootout with police from a parking garage at El Centro College, has killed himself with a shot to the head. The gunman told officers bombs have been planted across Dallas and that &#8216;the end is coming&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Before the fourth suspect was &#8216;neutralized&#8217;, Brown said he told negotiators &#8216;the end is coming, and he is going to hurt and kill more of us and that there are bombs all over the place in the garage and downtown&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">However, police have now confirmed no explosives were found in two sweeps. The &#8216;massive&#8217; crime scene can now be processed, Dallas Police Major Max Geron said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">A female, who was in the same area as the gunman who shot himself, is in custody, however Brown said: &#8216;We still don&#8217;t have complete comfort that we have all the suspects.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Police said two people are being questioned after they were spotted speeding away from the scene of the shooting in a black Mercedes.\u00a0An officer saw one of the pair hurriedly putting a camouflage bag in the back of the car before driving off &#8216;at a high rate of speed&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">In a statement from Warsaw, Poland where he is at a NATO summit, President Obama expressed his &#8216;deepest condolences to the American people&#8217;, and warned that he still didn&#8217;t know all of the facts of the massacre.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Read the Remainder of This Story with Pictures and Video at <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-3680097\/Protests-sweep-nation-thousands-demand-justice-Alton-Sterling-Philando-Castile-black-men-shot-dead-police.html\">The Daily Mail<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"mol-img-group xwArtSplitter\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am waking up to this insane news.
