ShootingAs the city of Dallas mourns the killings of five police officers, Mayor Mike Rawlings says one suspect in last night’s attack is dead.  Rawlings says the suspect involved in an overnight standoff with police died after officers used explosives to “blast him out.” In addition to the five officers who died, six others were wounded during a protest against police killings of black men in Louisiana and Minnesota.
Security was tight Friday morning with numerous streets closed to vehicle traffic in the main downtown Dallas business district hours after Thursday night’s attacks.

Maj. Max Geron (GAYR’-uhn) tweeted before dawn Friday that primary and secondary sweeps for explosives were complete and no explosives were found.
