The man who shot 12 police officers,
killing five, at a Black Lives Matter protest in downtown Dallas on
Thursday night has been identified as Micah Xavier Johnson. A
25-year-old Army reservist with no criminal history or ties to terror
groups.
Johnson, from Mesquite, Texas,
reportedly told law enforcement that he was a veteran, and claimed to
have acted alone, countering reports that as many as four gunmen were
involved in the massacre.
'The suspect said he was upset about
Black Lives Matter. He said he was upset about the recent police
shootings of black suspects. He said he was upset at white people. The
suspect stated he wanted to kill white people, especially white
officers,' Dallas Police Chief David Brown revealed.
Around 11pm on Thursday, cops cornered
Johnson at El Centro College and attempted to negotiate, but four hours
later the talks failed and a robot was brought in to detonate a bomb and
kill the suspect.
