Five Dallas
police officers have been killed and seven wounded by gunmen during protests
against the shooting of black men by police, authorities say.
Three people
are in custody and one man who was in a stand-off with police shot himself
dead, US media said.
Gunfire
broke out at around 20:45 local time on Thursday (01:45 GMT Friday) as
demonstrators marched through the city.
The protests
came after this week's deaths of Philando Castile in Minnesota and Alton
Sterling in Louisiana.
The Dallas
attack marks the deadliest day for US law enforcement officers since the 9/11
attacks in 2001.
President
Barack Obama, who is visiting Poland, said it was a "vicious, calculated
and despicable attack on law enforcement". He said the entire city of
Dallas was grieving and the "tight-knit US police community feels this
loss to their core". Read more>>
