Another shooting in Georgia; Dallas police shooting suspect identified

July 08, 2016 20:16

Authorities say a suspect exchanged gunfire with a police officer in south Georgia, but it's unclear if anyone was wounded. A news release from the city of Valdosta says a police officer was called early Friday to investigate a report of property damage. That officer encountered a man in the parking lot of an apartment complex, and gunshots were then exchanged.

Meanwhile, a suspect involved in the Dallas police shooting has been named by US media sources as Micah Xavier Johnson. Both CBS News and the Los Angeles Times are reporting Johnson, 25, is the shooter.

Five police officers were killed and seven injured after at least one sniper opened fire on police during a Black Lives Matter protest.

Dallas Police Chief David Brown said that, during a lengthy standoff with police, the suspect "wanted to kill white people, especially white officers".

The shooter was killed by a police bomb delivered by a robot.
