Five police officers were killed and several others injured when snipers started shooting during a Black Lives Matter protest in the downtown area. The below quotes are from the dispatch as the events unfolded.
“Be advised, they’re saying that there’s a shooter from the west side of the building,” the dispatcher tells officers. “They’re trying to get further. Shots have been fired.”
“I have a rifle and I’m bringing a shield with me,” one officer responds. (RELATED: Joe Walsh: ‘Watch Out Obama — Real America Is Coming For You’)

“Units be advised I have an open window with rifles sticking out,” the dispatcher then tells officers. “The suspect is on the second floor of the building.”
“Black male armed with a gun in a gold SUV,” the dispatcher then says.

In another video that was released, officers realize one of the shooters is in the El Centro College parking garage.
“We got a guy with a long rifle — we don’t know where the hell he’s at,” one officer says. “Slow down, he’s in the damn building right there! He’s in that building!”
