A gunman “upset about Black Lives Matter” and “recent police shootings” who opened fire Thursday night in Dallas, killing five police officers and wounding seven others, has been identified as Micah X. Johnson, the Los Angeles Times and CBS News report.

Two civilians were also wounded in the shootings. Johnson, 25, was killed when a police robot detonated a bomb near him following a standoff that lasted several hours, Police Chief David Brown said Friday at a press conference.

“The suspect said he was upset with white people and wanted to kill white people, especially white officers,” Brown said.

It is not clear if there were any other gunmen, or whether other people taken into custody by police were involved in the shooting. Police initially said two snipers positioned themselves in triangulated locations to fire on officers from elevated positions.

The gunfire began just before 9 p.m. while a peaceful rally was held by the Black Lives Matter organization in response to recent controversial police killings of black men in Louisiana and Minnesota. The officers were fired upon by a gunman with a sniper rifle in an elevated position at times during the incident, officials said.

The gunman was then cornered in El Centro College in downtown Dallas.

Little is known about the gunman so far, and this post will be updated as more information is released. Here’s what we know so far about the suspected shooter and the tragic incident:


The Suspect Told Police He Was Not Affiliated With Any Groups & He ‘Did This Alone’

After the shootings in downtown Dallas, the gunman, identified as Micah Xavier Johnson, 25, holed himself up inside the El Centro College building in the downtown area of the city, Dallas Police Chief David Brown said at a press conference.

He told police he was “not affiliated with any groups,” and he said he “did this alone,” the chief said.

Sources told the Los Angeles Times that Johnson has no ties to terror groups and no known criminal history. He has lived in the Dallas area and has family members living in Mesquite, Texas, east of Dallas, the newspaper reports, citing federal law enforcement sources.

The suspect told police he was a U.S. Army Veteran, CBS News reports.

He told police negotiators the “end is coming” and said he wanted to “kill more” officers, according to Brown.

Police said after several hours of negotiating and shooting at the officers, the suspect was killed by a bomb-wielding robot.

“We tried to negotiate for several hours, negotiations broke down, we had an exchange of gunfire with the suspect,” Brown said. “We saw no other option but to use our bomb-robot and place a device on its extension for it to detonate where the suspect was. Other options would have exposed our officers to grave danger. The suspect is a result of detonating the bomb.”

The suspect did not shoot himself, despite reports, Brown said.

“He wanted to kill officers, and he expressed killing white people, he expressed killing white officers,” Brown said. “He expressed anger for Black Lives Matter. None of that makes sense, none of that is a legitimate reason to do harm to anyone, so the rest of it would just be speculating on what his motivations were. We just know what he said to our negotiators.”

He said a woman had been taken into custody after she was observed by police carrying a camouflaged bag, which she put into a car that then sped off. The vehicle was stopped by police and they were currently questioning two occupants, Brown said.

Though stuff like this is pretty unnerving:

And means even if he was a lone wolf, this kind of attack has a much wider base of support, which means there will be more of them.

Police have said at least two snipers fired "ambush-style" from an "elevated position." Then police exchanged gunfire and negotiated with a suspect for hours at a parking garage in downtown Dallas.

Brown said an investigation into the ambush continues. He would not say how authorities believe others in custody are connected to the shooting.

Previously, authorities had said three people were in custody, and that multiple shooters were involved in the attack.

I believe, if there are other shooters, they aren't being identified because they are being questioned by police.

He has been identified because he got splattered all over the parking garage wall.

There is a reason cops act more aggresively towards African Americans and last night proved it.

When cops kill a white man white people say "yeah he deserved it, you should know better than to **** around with cops"

When a black guy is shot the African Americans throw violent protest across the country. Now cops have to worry about people with snipers shooting at them?

The shooter allegedly said " I just want to kill white people especially white cops"

These cops have families and had nothing to do with what happened.

The sad truth of the matter is, while it may only be a handful of African Americans doing this. It warrants getting treated differently by the cops. No other group would even consider gunning down innocent people and cops like this. Truly sickening.

Do you not understand the difference between criminal profiling and racial profiling? It's perfectly fine to profile ideological groups in my opinion.

Do you think Pakistani Muslims and Indian Hindus are as likely to commit terrorist acts? Of course you don't think that. When a Pakistani Muslim commits a terrorist act, do you think it's that he's brown is why he does it? Well, Indian Hindus are brown too. But there's obviously not the same terror problem with that group.

Being brown doesn't indicate that somebody is likely to be part of an ideological group. That's called racial profiling. Being specifically Pakistani though does indicate a high likelihood of being a member of a ideological group. Now, of course that alone doesn't mean too much, but it's a relevant factor. Simply being brown isn't.

So, if someone is of Pakistani origin, is that relevant? Well, yes. The overwhelming majority of Pakistanis do belong to the ideological group that does have a terror problem. Again though, that's just 1 relevant factor of a criminal profile. That by itself doesn't mean much.

What if someone is white? I'm assuming the ideological groups you're referring to are these anti-government militia types. Well, what percentage of white people are part of those ideological groups? Like, not even 1% of 1%. So, is it logical to say that someone being white would indicate a likelihood of a person being part of such a group? The answer is obvious.

One could surmise that the old colonisationists had a point: America's race problem remains intractable, and doesn't seem to be going anywhere in even the long-term. Achieving racial harmony has been a problem in every place, but only in America does it seem so hysterical and extreme. The whole thing lately has started to remind me of the Catholic/Protestant divide in Northern Ireland: the two could easily have got along if the Catholics weren't constantly fuming over historical grievances, which in turn gave the ardent Unionists the opportunity to point at the extremist Catholics and say "see, look how evil those people are."

You see the same thing now: a vocal, extremist organisation, like BLM, is taken for and assumed to be representative of black people in general by a mass media that only seems to care about stirring up division (while lecturing everyone about unity); this, in turn, is used by white demagogues to stir up resentment against blacks, which is easy to do because poor white people surely want to feel like victims too; the end game here can only be ethnically motivated violence, and the growth of racial terrorism.

It is, again, why the ideology of victimhood is such a destructive one to peddle to disenfranchised blacks--after all, if they live under active "white oppression" the logical recourse is violence towards those white oppressors. This guy probably envisions himself as a modern day Nat Turner, and sadly, too many are starting to agree with this depraved view.

The ideology of victimhood is toxic everywhere it touches. Unfortunately, the latest generation of kids in America has been raised to claim victimhood at every opportunity and blame microaggressions every time things don't work out for them.

How was the man filmed on the ground and in the parking structure, but also up on the roof when he was sniping?


I am confused by the current media coverage. Everyone said it was multiple snipers triangulating a kill zone last night, now it is just one shooter responsible for all of it?


I have a bad feeling the other shooters escaped and are currently at large and the police don't want to panic the community any further.

apparently according to reddit, the shooter asked for a cell phone and the "bomb robot" was actually just an explosive cell phone.

This was according to what was said on a Dallas morning radio show, I cannot verify if it is what actually happened or not.



There is really only one shooter? I was watching it live last night and they were positive there were multiple snipers firing from different positions at the same time that the shooter on the ground was being filmed before he went in to the parking garage.

Now there is only one shooter? So he was sniping people from rooftops+gunning down cops on the ground with an assault rifle at the same time? It is bizarre.
