And we begin with breaking news from dallas. An ambush on police after snipers opened fire during a protest march. Heres what we know right now. 11 officers were shot. At least five of them are dead. Six are seriously injured and one bystander was hurt in all of this. So far police say they have three people in custody and overnight they cornered a fourth person in a parking garage who exchanged gunfire with police. The demonstration through the downtown area had been peaceful until the gunfire triggered fear and panic sending people running for cover. [ gunfire ] oh, my god. Theyre they cant be firing. Oh, my god. Just listen to that barrage of gunfire that took place there in the heart of dallas last night. Absolutely unbelievable to hear that. The woman who shot that video said she was scared when she heard that. Understandably so. Roughly six hours after that the standoff with the remaining suspect is now over. Earlier that suspect was cornered in a parking garage refusing to cooperate with s. W. A. T. Team negotiators. The police chief said that man was threatening more violence against police. The suspect that we are negotiating with that has exchanged gunfire with us over the last 45 minutes has told our negotiators that the end is coming and hes going to hurt and kill more of us meaning Law Enforcement and that there are bombs all over the place in this garage and in downtown. But, again, that standoff is over and learning more about the bystander injured shielding her sons when she was shot in the leg. She had surgery overnight. Abcs Adrienne Bankert is there on the scene all night for us. Adrienne. Reporter good morning to you, diane and kendis. Right now still at the corner of lamar and ross in the west end of dallas. This is considered part of Downtown Dallas but for those who are natives here for those who live here the shots of gunfire at such rapid succession is unheard of in this community and then find out five officers have been killed in this deadly rage, it followed what was a peaceful protest here on the streets of dallas. If you looked on social media you saw photos of demonstrators side by side with Police Officers with smiles on their faces. No one could have predicted that a sniper would have fired down on officers targeting men and women in uniform. 11 officers hit in all. One civilian as you all mentioned earlier. Now, the scene has become quieter here as we enter an investigation stage though weve seen helicopters flying above and we heard flash bangs or some type of explosive sound earlier this morning. We also have seen a number of fire engines and police cars speeding away from the scene. Those streets are blocked off in this dallas neighborhood right now as they continue to investigate the situation. We heard earlier from the Dallas Police chief who said that they were not sure if they did, indeed, have all of the suspects in custody, but, you know, we want to put a name to some of these numbers because so often we tell you how many people have died, but we dont tell you the who and d. A. R. T. , dallas area rapid transit, losing one of their own, officer Brent Thompson only 43 years old, the first officer to die in the near 30year area of d. A. R. T. Police. Diane and kendis back to you. And, adrienne, we also heard from the police chief that at least one of those suspects is threatening more violence against officers. There were threats of possible bombs in the area. What is the latest on the investigation on that front . Reporter well, you know what, weve had rumors that this situation has come to some type of end, but we dont want to give out any information that we have yet to confirm. So, again, its quieter which signals to us one of two things has happened. Either the officers were able to get the upper hand with the shooter, or it ended in some type of fashion. We really dont want to say anything that would not be confirmed yet through the Dallas Police, but we do know that were still awaiting word from them, and the Investigation Continues as to why these shooters were able to get up into the garage and fire on officers. What their real motive was, though it is evident that they were out to kill police. Diane and kendis. Absolutely seemed definitely targeted when you have hundreds of people there and 100 Police Officers and 11 officers specifically shot. Thats right. Only one bystander as well caught in the cross fire. The police chief said this was an ambush, and our thanks to adrienne there. In these kinds of situations, so much information coming through. We appreciate, adrienne, all youre doing this morning, and this all happened, keep in mind, in a very crowded area of downtown. Were now just getting some video shot by a student at nearby El Centro College. He was with others in a stairwell as those gunshots rang out. Yeah, the college located not far from where adrienne was standing and was placed on lockdown, and everyone was finally evacuated overnight. Now, her sister was wounded and is undergoing surgery, and this is now the deadliest day for Law Enforcement since the september 11th attacks. Which is an unbelievable thing to think about right there, the worst attack and deadliest attack on Law Enforcement in this country since 9 11. We want to bring in former fbi agent steve gomez who we spoke with a little bit earlier about how police are handling the protests around the country and the response Law Enforcement can take moving forward. Well, you know, they had a command post that was established for this type of protest. I mean, they always do that when they have this type of special event, which this would have been considered given the situation occurring in the two cities where the shootings, cop shootings were, so there was already a flow of information that was happening during the protest. Once the shootings occurred, you can only imagine the level of activity that increased probably a hundredfold with, you know, just reports from the cops, tips coming in from the public and so on, so all that information is now being collated, pulled together. They have tons of officers and investigators coming in to do interviews. As they have identified suspects, they are going through their electronic, you know, devices, social media and so on and theyre bringing that together. Theyre contacting family members, neighbors, friends, work associates. Theyre trying to figure out where they acquired the weapons, so atf is going to be taking the lead on trying to figure out the weapons they were using to shoot at the officers, where did they get those weapons . Who purchased those weapons . These are all the methods that are tried and true in Law Enforcement that are going to be used, and its going to be an even higher profile and much more intense investigation because of the fact that they targeted cops, and thats you know, a cop killer is one of the worst things in the world, and the fact that these two individuals at the very least, if not more, took the step to kill cops, this is one of the biggest cases that weve ever seen because it involves cops being targeted and killed. All right, our thanks to steve gomez there who knows the situation very well and is a former lapd officer. And president obama has been briefed on the deadly attack in dallas as he attends a nato summit in poland today. And before those officers in dallas were killed, the president had addressed the policeinvolved shootings in minnesota and louisiana that sparked those protests originally. He said the shootings were not isolated but rather systemic of a broader set of racial disparities. The president also though acknowledged the heavy burden on Police Officers saying, quote, when people say black lives matter, it doesnt mean blue lives dont matter. Quite interesting now to hear that after all thats happened in the last 12 hours or so. Thats right. And back in dallas, an emotional scene. The American Flag at halfstaff, this is outside the Dallas Police association. Now, on the groups twitter page it says, quote, good will triumph over this evil and adds the prayfordallas. And it was so shocking early this morning when we learned of the fifth of the dpa tweeting out we lost another one. Thats right, and this continues to develop this morning, both on the investigation and whats happening with the victims this morning, we know several officers still injured this morning and still dealing with that, as well as a civilian in surgery at the moment. Well, still ahead, much more from dallas. Plus our news, fbi director james comey setting the record straight about the investigation into Hillary Clintons email server. And also breaking overnight, a suspect taken into custody after a series of attacks on the streets of san diego. Stay with us, everyone. We are following breaking news for you out of dallas this morning where snipers opened fire during a protest there. It was just one of many actually that was happening around the country, organized to protest two Fatal Police Shootings in minnesota and louisiana this week. Demonstrators also hit the streets from coast to coast. Here in new york city they marched from union square to times square chanting and carrying protest signs. About a dozen people were arrested, but it was mostly peaceful. Also on the west coast in oakland about 2,000 protesters marched from city hall to a major highway there where they blocked traffic, set off fireworks and broke some windows. Meanwhile, one of the shootings that was the trigger for those protests was this one livestreamed in minnesota. The woman seen there in that video spoke about the aftermath. Diamond reynolds says it all started when she and her boyfriend Philando Castile were pulled over for a broken taillight. Well, reynolds says castile was following the officers orders and reaching for his i. D. When that officer suddenly shot and killed him shooting several times. Reynolds was remarkably composed, as you know, during that livestream, but now that reality has set in, she says shes actually consumed with anger understandably as well as grief over what she and many others are calling a senseless shooting. And now were going to take a quick look at some of our other news stories were following for you this morning. Donald trump is campaigning in miami alongside new jersey governor chris christie, one of his potential running mates. And trump is fresh off a trip to capitol hill \where he met with republican lawmakers where he called for party unity, but the exchanges, were told, were tense at times as questions were raised about his controversial statements and tweets over the last few months. Some republicans say they were encouraged by what trump had to say while others were unimpressed. Meanwhile, former rival you see there ted cruz accepted trumps invitation to speak at the convention, but stopped short of endorsing him. Vice President Joe Biden is hitting the campaign trail as well today joining Hillary Clinton in his hometown of scranton, pennsylvania. The joint appearance comes as the state department reopens its investigation into clintons private email server. The internal review was put on hold until the fbis investigation was completed. Now, this could lead to some state Department Staffers losing their security clearances. And fbi director james comey vigorously defended the decision to not prosecute Hillary Clinton in more than four hours of testimony on capitol hill. Republicans accuse the fbi of showing a double standard for powerful people, but comey insisted clinton was not given special treatment, and he denied the timing of his announcement was planned with the white house. Look me in the eye, and listen to what im about to say. I did not coordinate that with anyone, the white house, the department of justice. Nobody outside the fbi family had any idea what i was about to say. I say that under oath. I stand by that. Republicans now want the fbi to investigate whether clinton lied to congress, and they want to deny her access to classified information that is normally shared with president ial candidates. Should point out that were going to return to dallas next for a firsthand account of the moments when snipers opened fire on Police Officers killing at least five of them. Also the outpouring on social media right now, and we have new video and breaking details. All that coming up next.

Recapping our top story out of dallas this morning where gunfire erupted during a protest march. The police chief says snipers targeted Police Officers stationed at that march calling it an ambushstyle attack. 11 officers were shot. At least five are dead, six seriously injured fighting for their lives. At least one bystander was hit were told in the leg by one of the bullets. Three people are in custody and a fourth suspect, were told, has been exchanging gunfire with police and the police chief telling us the standoff taking place at the El Centro College garage is finally over. But its been a tense night in dallas. Well, some of the first images that we saw following that ambush in dallas came as youd expect from social media. I want to show you some. This was the scene on the street, or this was the scene inside actually El Centro College, a college that is right nearby as many people were trying to hunker down and get in place, and this is the scene on the street. You can see people running for cover there trying to move away from the area where the shootings took place, and many of these videos you could also hear a barrage of gunfire, and we briefly saw and heard some video at the start of the show as well of some witness accounts and youre looking there at that downtown area where we just heard the gunfire. Lets listen. Somebody is armed. Someone is really armed to the teeth. This is not you can hear the witness say there somebody is really armed to the teeth. At least dozens of shots there, and witnesses on the scene have reported saying it seemed like it never ended. Remember the bank robbery that took place in los angeles some years ago where those guys were just armed with body armor and they had all these big guns and were shooting up. A lot said it reminded them of that. This is Downtown Dallas. Unbelievable. And we look at the skyline. Those are buildings you see and those are the shots they were hearing last night. These chaotic scenes civilians being told to move out of the way of Law Enforcement. Man, its amazing that in this day and age, they hear shots are being fired, and immediately people get on their phone and document it all. Well, in some cases people are glad that that documentation exists. Yeah. Well see if this helps in the investigation now because, of course, a massive investigation now under way as police try to piece together what happened. Absolutely incredible moments there overnight. Of course, were going to get back to dallas in a moment but first to los angeles where Seven Members of a latino street gang have been charged with firebombing four homes of black families. Police say the gangs goal was to drive them out of a housing project. If convicted, the men could face life in prison. Also in california, a suspect has been charged for Violent Attacks against homeless men in san diego. Authorities say 36yearold Anthony Padgett has been charged with murder and attempted murder. Two of the victims were killed. Two others seriously injured. The attacks came while the men were sleeping. Two of them were set on fire. Authorities have not said whether padgett is their only suspect. And in texas a 12yearold girl is dead and her mother critically injured after a partial bridge collapse near houston. Investigators say a garbage truck hit the bridge knocking a piece of concrete into their vehicle. Now police are investigating the incident as a homicide this morning. A boy was able to escape from the backseat of that car. Coming up, more on that developing story out of texas. Also some emotional moments as beyonce brought her performance to a halt to remember.

And this morning weve seen an outpouring of support for police and just in general what happened in dallas late last night. Some celebrities have been taking to social media adding their voices to this growing chorus, as well. We saw john legend speaking out saying the dallas shootings are horrific. This, a beyonce concert from last night. So now obviously this was before the dallas incident and she used a powerful moment of silence to punctuate her point. Beyonce paused during her concert in glasgow, scotland, yesterday and she projected the names of victim brutalized by police at home. Again, before the incident in dallas. This comes after she published an emotional statement on her website, a call to action for minority communities saying its up to us to take a stand and demand that they stop killing us. Of course, all these new messages now surfacing this morning in reaction to the dallas shootings. Just strange to see so many coming out from one day to the next. Right . Absolutely. I want to show you the newspapers really quickly in the dallas area. The Dallas Morning News simply calling it ambush, and who can doubt them with that. I find this one from the New York Post quite interesting, civil war. A lot of people feel its that way. Just fifteen minutes and a little imagination are all you need to make summer magic. Chex party mix. Its what summer is made of. And i quit smoking with chantix. I have smoked for 30 years and by taking chantix, i was able to quit in 3 months and that was amazing. Along with support, Chantix Varenicline is proven to help people quit smoking. It absolutely reduced my urge to smoke.

Tell your doctor about any history of Mental Health problems, which could get worse or of seizures. Dont take chantix if youve had a serious allergic or skin reaction to it. If you have these, stop chantix and call your doctor right away as some can be lifethreatening. Tell your doctor if you have heart or blood vessel problems, or develop new or worse symptoms. Get medical help right away if you have symptoms of a heart attack or stroke. Decrease alcohol use while taking chantix. Use caution when driving or operating machinery. Most common sideaffect is nausea. I cant believe i did it. I quit smoking. Ask your doctor if chantix is right for you. But can your multivitamin to be healthy. Do more for your immune health . Now one a day has the first multivitamin with probiotics to support the 70 of your immune system thats found in your digestive tract. New one a day with probiotics. Your multi with more.
