As America reels after yet another mass shooting, the death toll now rising to five police officers, one video in particular is illustrating just how little regard for life those behind the killings have.
We showed you that video, amongst a number of others, this morning HERE – but now the man who filmed it has opened up about what he saw from his hotel room.
This is the video in question:
Ismael Dejesus spoke to CNN about how it all went down:
The assailant got out of a Chevy Tahoe SUV wearing what Dejesus described as tactical clothing.
“Man had a rifle, AR-15, clear as day. Pretty big magazine. You can see towards the end of the video here that he goes ahead and drops a few mags.””He had multiple pockets, he had three to four pockets in front of his pants.
He definitely looked like he was wearing something in his shirt.”
“He got out of there, walked over to the pillar, put a magazine in and started firing.”
“It did look planned. He knew where to stand. He had ammo ready.”
“They weren’t short mags. They were high-capacity magazines.
“He was trying to get a commotion going, trying to get cops’ attention.”
When one officer attempts to engage the shooter one-on-one, he is killed by multiple shots fired at point blank range.
“It looked like an execution honestly. He stood over (the officer) after he was already down and shot him maybe three to four times in the back. It was very disturbing to watch.
“He shot without any fear. He didn’t care. (The police officer) wasn’t able to wound him at all. He came around the corner and ended up shooting the officer about half a foot away.
At least it looks like the terror may be coming to an end. Here’s the BBC with the latest at the time of writing:
Three people are in custody and one man who was in a stand-off with police shot himself dead…
Dallas Police Chief David Brown said officers had surrounded a car park near El Centro College, where an armed man was firing off rounds with a rifle.
He said the suspect had told negotiators that “the end is coming” and that he was going to attack more officers and had “bombs all over the place”.
But US media say the man is now dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound and the stand-off is over, although the police have yet to confirm this.
Chief Brown said that a woman who was in the vicinity of the suspect was now being questioned.
Police also said officers had intercepted a car after a person threw a camouflaged bag into the back and sped off. Two occupants were being questioned.
Chief Brown said the suspects were all believed to have been working together, using rifles to carry out attacks while the rally was taking place.
He added: “We do not have a comfort level that we have all the suspects.”
As it appears this was a well-orchestrated team effort, you would guess they haven’t.
