Local and state police organizations are taking to social media to share their support for Dallas following the shooting deaths of five police officers on Thursday night.
According to The Associated Press, seven other officers were wounded by the gunfire, blamed on "snipers" who reportedly "planned to injure and kill as many officers as they could."

“Dallas Police Chief David Brown is a friend and a colleague. I have connected with him to extend our thoughts and prayers for the tragic loss of his officers and their families. The sacrifice and heroism displayed by the Dallas police officers was extremely remarkable as they rushed towards hell bent sociopaths that were firing assault rifles on the downtown city streets. Although this is the deadliest incident in American policing since 9/11, their courage and grace under fire saved many, many lives of both civilian and sworn officers. Our officers will wear mourning bands over our shields in honor of DPD.”
