This was the update during the negotiations:
"The suspect we are negotiating with ... has told our negotiators that the end is coming and he's going to hurt and kill more of us ... and that there are bombs all over the place, here and downtown."
The last remaining suspect told the negotiators that the end is near and he is "going to hurt and kill more of us, meaning law enforcement, and that there are bombs all over the place in this garage and downtown".
Brown descied the shootings as "ambush style". He added, "We believe that these suspects were positioning themselves in a way to triangulate on these officers from two different perches in garages in the downtown area, and planned to injure and kill as many law enforcement officers as they could".
Only one civilian, Shetamia Taylor, was wounded during the protests. She was shot in the leg but the injuried sustained are not life-threatening.
As of the publishing of this article, G. Ivinalititavitch on Periscope is livestreaming Dallas Police's negotiation with the last remaining suspect.
