serve. we look at today's eye-opener, your world in 90 seconds. it is a sniper from up here somewhere. >> it is a sniper? >> you hear the shots. get down. get down. >> target and kill five police officers in dallas. >> police say the snipers were targeting officers in an effort to injury and kill as many as they could. >> get down! >> officer down. police started shooting in one direction, whoever was shooting, was shooting back. that's when the war began. >> a peaceful protest. no one was acting up or crazy. >> watch out! >> we was running, they kept shooting. we don't know where it is coming from. i didn't see anybody else. it was just the cops. >> i believe i speak for every single american when i say that we are horrified over these events. let's be clear. there is no possible justification for these kinds of attacks.

>> you see video footage running towards gunfire, with no chance to protect themselves. to put themselves in harm's way to make sure citizens can get to a place of security. all that -- >> to say the police officers put their lives on the line everyday is no hyperbole. we as a country, must come together, lock arms and feel the wounds that we all feel from time to time. >> and all that matters. >> if you take a stand for something, you automatically are against something else. it seems it is either antiblack or pro black and anticop. when in reality, you can be pro cop, and pro black. which is what we should all be. >> on "cbs this morning." >> we've got tough history and we haven't gotten through all of that history yet. we don't expect that in my lifetime, maybe not in my children's lifetime, but all the vestages of that past have been

cured. we can do better. people of good will can do better. welcome to "cbs this morning." i'm jeff glor with christine johnson, and jim yuccas. we are learning more about a deadly attack on police in dallas. snipers ambushed officers, turning a peaceful protest into chaos. >> five officers were killed. seven other officers and two civilians wounded. video shows a gunman firing at targets at the end of the protest against deadly police shootings in other cities. scott pelley is in dallas. he has been leading our coverage all morning long.

he has new details on how the suspect was finally stopped. scott. >> reporter: jeff, we heard from the dallas mayor and dallas police chief, david brown, earlier today. they told us that they were in a several-hours long standoff with one of the gunman in a parking garage just a couple of blocks from where i'm standing, where the police cordon is. man told them during the standoff he was angry about the deaths of african-american men at the hands of white police officers over these last several days, months and even years. he said he was angry on behalf of the black lives matter movement. and as he broke off negotiations with the police, the police then decided to put a bomb on a robot, drive the robot over to the vicinity of the suspect, and detonate it. the suspect was killed. he had claimed he was acting

alone, but the police are holding three other suspects, and manuel borakis has been covering this. >> that's right, scott. this began with a protest march in solidarity. two men killed, the one in louisiana and the other in minnesota. the dallas police department and rapid transit became the target of an enemy they could not see. the unprecedented assault unleashed dozens of rounds on downtown dallas. people marching at a rally stopped walking to run for their lives. the view from above shows how hundreds of people scattered. >> i was screaming, run, run, run, active shooter, active shooter. >> reporter: as the attack went on, several uniformed officers

were down. motionless on the pavement outside. officers ran to the aid of their colleague who colleagues who were hit. one of the suspects, i a man with a rifle fired shots while hiding behind a pillar. >> we don't know where he is at. we got one more shooter out here. we got an open window on the side of lamar. we've got rifles hanging out. >> all plain clothes officers need to be suited up in the area. >> reporter: two suspects was arrested in a traffic spot, one a woman who was caught in the garage. another suspect inside the garage is dead. after a standoff. mayor mike raulings. >> i would ask if you're at your home or at your office or at

your school, to join us today in that spirit of prayer. to bring our city together and our country together. to heal wounds, not create them. >> reporter: the shooter who was involved in the standoff with police made a claim at one point that there could be explosives in the downtown dallas area, but scott, we know police have scoured the area with canines and haven't found any. >> manuel, thank you. it is also not clear how many gunmen there were. manuel talked about the three people who were in custody. but the police have not said that they were directly involved in these shootings. apparently, that's still under investigation. the man who was killed in the parking garage by police claim today have acted alone, but of course, the police are not taking that at face value. earlier today, the dallas police chief, michael brown, had this

to say about the suspect who was killed. >> our hostage negotiator did an exceptional job getting this suspect to talk before he died during the hours of negotiating that eventually broke down. i want to share with you some of the comments from the suspect. the suspect said he was upset about black lives matter. he said he was upset about the recent police shootings. the suspect said he was upset at white people. the suspect stated he wanted to kill white people, especially white officers. the suspect stated he will eventually -- that we'll eventually find the ieds. the suspect stated he was not

affiliated with any groups, and he stated that he did this alone. the suspect said other things that are part of this investigation, so that we can make sure that everyone associated with this tragic event is brought to justice. so as the mayor said, we won't expand on any further on what other suspects we have interviewed or looked at or their status, until we get further into this investigation and get closer to a conclusion of what and who are all involved. >> reporter: earlier, i spoke with john matthews, a former dallas police officer, and now executive director of the community safety institute.

i asked him for his reaction to the suspect's motives. >> well, i think there are a lot of individuals upset about the police shootings that we've had, not only this week, but over the last couple of years throughout the country. but there is a way you can express your opinion about that. there is a way you can reach out to local law enforcement and build bridges. you don't arm yourself with weapons and attack and ambush officers during a peaceful demonstration. >> reporter: what should other law enforcement agency do to protect themselves now that we've apparently crossed this threshold? >> well, we've been facing numerous ambushes over the last five years. we've had officers in vegas sitting in a wrest rant. in new york city, shot in their own squad car. we have to practice significancenal awareness. we have to be on our toes at all times. we have to understand now that there may be people out there that are putting targets on our back, so not only do we to protect the citizens, we've got

protect ourselves. >> there was a protest march, one among many across the country, there was one in chicago and a number of other cities protesting the shooting african-american men in other cities. what is the relationship between the dallas police department and the minority community here? >> overall it is positive. i think for several decades, we've been building that partnership and trust. we meet with the members of the faith community, members of various communities throughout the city. we bring them in, talk to them about crime. we talk to them about social issues. we try to solve those problems for our citizens. overall, we have a positive good working relationship, and our chief has set that tone for a number of years now. >> reporter: the mayor said that ironically, last year, dallas had fewer police shootings than any major city in america. >> it is good training, and

bringing in tactics, such as deescalation techniques. having the ability to deescalate the situation. so it doesn't get to a deadly force situation. there is no winners in that situation. you have the victims and officers traumatized for years. usually the rest of their life. so we want to try to deescalate as well as we can. >> reporter: most of the seven wounded officers have been released from the hospital. omar via franca is at baylor. >> reporter: good morning, scotts. the front page says it all. "ambush." the numbers have changed. 12 people shot five people dead. five of them are officers. making yesterday's attack the deadliest for law enforcement since 9/11. a gut wrenching tribute to dallas police officers as they saluted the bodies of the killed officers as they were transported. >> it is a hearbreaking morning to say that our police officers

put their life on the line everyday is no hyperbole, ladies and gentlemen. it is a reality. >> reporter: the hail of gunfire from snipers ambushed officers who were securing the peaceful protest in downtown dallas. several of the syringes were rush -- victims were transported. >> one of the dead, brent thompson, a seven year member of the force. >> he just realized that when she got shot -- >> richard mcbride, misty mcbride, was shot twice in the attack and recovering in the hospital. >> she was shot in the arm and broke her shoulder. she was shot in the abdomen, and it went in one side and just out the other side. >> a lot of gunshots. they just came so fast, and they wouldn't stop. >> reporter: teresa williams sister is one of two civilian victims. she was shot once in the leg

after taking her four children to last night's protest. >> she immediately jumped on top of one of her boy, the 15-year-old, she jumped on top to cover him. >> reporter: early this morning, mayor mike rowlings called for peace. >> we as a city, we as a country must come together, lock arms, and heal the wounds that we all feel from time to time. >> reporter: the mayor says he has received calls from the white house and texas governor greg abbott, offering condolences, but also help, because the dallas police department right now is just abut running on fumes, and their day is just going to get longer, scott. because now they have the task of processing that massive crime scene downtown. >> reporter: omar, thank you. we have breaking news on this story. cbs news has been told by a law enforcement source the identity of the gunman who was killed. he is identified as micah

johnson. we don't have any more information than that about him at the moment. we're working to learn more about him now. earlier this morning, we spoke with jeff hood, who was one of the organizers of the protest march, and we asked him what happened at the moment of the shooting. where were you? >> i was at the very front. because you know, as an organizer, i was trying to make sure that we were heading in the right direction, and that the, you know, the protest was heading in a peaceful direction. >> the protest was ending at that point. >> absolutely. >> the march was ending. what did you see then? >> i saw right in front of me, i saw what appeared to be eight to ten shots. i saw two people drop, what i presume to be police officers. i was standing there talking to one of the police sergeants, and i turned and ran, started screaming, active shooter, run,

active shooter, run, run, run. the violence in the country, you know, people don't engage those situations like it is actually a threat. it is almost like a lot of folks are used to hearing shooting in the neighborhood and that sort of thing. but once every figured out this was a big deal, people got to moving. >> was there a lot of gunfire. >> absolutely. i mean it, sounded like, you know, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop. i mean, just over and over. >> did you see the gunman? >> i did not. >> you saw two police officers -- >> what looked like two police officers go down. >> was there anything in the protest martha could have conceivable provoked this violence? >> no. no. >> characterize for me the relationship between the 800 marchers and 100 police officers who were there. >> sure. >> how was that relationship going through the march? >> sure, you know, i think people were, you know, for a

group of 800 people that were angry about the shootings in st. paul and baton rouge, you know, i think it was a relatively calm environment. even the police were commenting on, you know, just how nonviolent the scene was. and you know, for me, i'm just devastated that some things so beautiful could turn to evil so quickly. >> how would you characterize the relationship between the dallas police department and the minority community? >> i think it is typical. it is tenuous. no question about that. i think, you know, the police are trying to make it better, and i hope they continue. >> why was it necessary to have this protest march? there were several yesterday around the country. >> sure. >> why was this one important to you? >> a lot of anger, and i think people need to have the opportunity to grieve and express their anger in a positive way. this was an opportunity to do

that. >> for president obama's reaction, we will go to margaret brennan, who is traveling with the pressed to in warsaw, poland. margaret. >> reporter: good morning. the president is here to tackle national security issues, but twice in the past 12 hours, he has made a public appeal for calm back home. the president called the dallas shootings a vicious, calculated and despicable attack. >> today, our focus is on the victims and their families. they are heartbroken. the entire city of dallas is grieving. police across america, a tight knit family, feels the loss to their core. >> reporter: the dallas shooting happened after the president said was deeply disturbed by recent killings at the hands of police in louisiana and minnesota. on the flight over here, he watched news coverage and decided to speak out, beckihe s

none of that justifies targetsing police. the president also said this is a painful reminder of how easy it is to access powerful weapons. >> margaret brennan with the president in warsaw, poland. so in summary today, we have 12 police officers shot, two civilians shot five officers have died. most of the wounded officers have already been released from the hospital. one suspect has been killed. he told police officers that he acted alone, but the investigation is just getting started. back to you in new york. >> scott, thank you. the police killings in dallas stunned police across the country. ahead, how other big city police departments, including the,,

. welcome back to "cbs this morning." we're learning more details about the attack in dallas. protesters were running last night, officers were ambushed during a peaceful protest of this week's deadly police shootings of black men. >> dallas police say five officers were killed. at least seven more officers and two civilians are wounded. police have three suspects in custody. a fourth suspect, killed by a police bomb is identified by a law enforcement source as mika johnson. we learned he was 25-year-old and claimed to be a u.s. veteran. cbs scott pelley continues coverage from downtown dallas. scott. >> reporter: the police chief here in dallas told us that mika johnson, before he was killed,

told the police negotiator that there were ieds, as he put it, improvised explosive devices, scattered about the downtown area. so for many hours, before dawn today, police used bomb sniffing dogs to make sure the area was safe. no explosives have been found in the area has been declared free of any explosives. the shooting began last night about 9:00 p.m. local time, at the end of a peaceful protest march. a shooting that set off a scene of horror. >> get down! get back! >> it has been very crazy tonight. it feels leakike a war zone. >> reporter: when the shots rang out, people scattered, and been described as absolute pandemonium. >> the only thing i seen was bullets coming by mean. >> pop, pause, pop, pause.

and you see the first two officers go down right by the greyhound station. >> you mean go down like they were hit? >> they were hit. we couldn't see the shooter. the cops had no idea who was shooting at them. at least 50 cop cars went flying by. i've worked downtown for six years now, and i've never seen anything like this. >> don't come this way, because the crowd was coming this way. the mass was coming towards the gunshots. >> it was terrifying experience. >> hearbreaking night in downtown dallas. that's the word that describes it best for the folks that call this place home. >> we as a city, we as a country, must come together, lock arms and heal the wounds. >> reporter: a short time ago, we spoke with pete schulty, a police officer and attorney, who was a friend of one of the officers who was wounded. he told us about how he learned about his friends being wounded,

and how he raced to the hospital. >> typical thursday night, having dinner, about 9:00 last night, the phone starts going crazy, hey, we're hearing at least one or two officers have been shot in downtown dallas, trying to gather information, but once i found out who it was, i jumped in my car and headed over there. i got to parklynn, talking to the news outlets, and ended up going to another hospital. was able to see him. then we started to kind of hear the gravity of the situation. a lot of other officers being brought in, a lot of families are upset. it is very surreal. >> how is he doing? >> doing well. talking last night. i'm hoping he'll get released today. i haven't followed up with him yet. i know he got shot in the upper body area. i think he'll have surgery, but he is going to be okay. not like the other five heros. >> he is going to be released? >> i think today. i don't know if it has happened yet. >> the mayor said earlier most of the wounded officers have been released. so certainly very good news.

>> right. >> what is did your friend tell you about the shooting, what he saw. >> we didn't get into detail. there was a lot of activity at the hospital. i do know from talking to other friends that were around that most of the officers who were shot were advancing towards the gunfire. you really put that into perspective with people. i don't think people understand what these officers do, when they put on their badge and gun everyday. they're not going out to shoot people. they try to help people. that's what they were douglass night. they were having a protest, engaging, taking pictures with the marchers, and then the gunshots rang out. they saw one suspect, my understanding, and one of the officers that died was advancing at this particular suspect. it was very unfortunate. >> the police chief said that they spoke to one of the gunmen for several hours as he was hold up in a parking garage before he was killed by police. he told them that he was angry about the deaths of black men at the hands of white police

officers. he was motivated by the black lives matter movement. he said he wanted to kill white people, and white police officers in particular. what is your reaction to that. >> i will tell that you in dallas, we have actually enjoyed a great relationship with our police department, our police chief and the citizens. so we don't have kind of the same issues that are going on in other cities we've been hearing about for several months now. my take away from that is that all lives matter. it doesn't matter if you're police officer, black, white, hispanic, male, female. this stuff does not happen in america. we need to figure out why it is happening and stop it. this is a discussion. this is a die vvergance. >> what is do this do going forward, a cop in new york, in chicago, los angeles, you wake up to this? >> you go what am i going to do next? am i going to engage. i talked to a lot of officers in

my law practice here, but they're afraid to engage suspects, because they don't want the backlash that could come like we have a he seen in baton rouge and minnesota. i don't know enough about those cases to comment on those, but protests are legal, constitutional. i like that, we're america. that's what should happen. but violence is wrong. you're for the black lives movement or blue lives matter movement, it shouldn't happen. >> the police chief said that to take out the suspect, they put a bomb on a robot, drove the robot over to where the suspect was and detonated the bomb. no choice in that matter? >> no choice in that matter. i have to hand it to dallas pd and the d.a.r.t. police. they were there to support the marchers from what they are doing and as they go down there and get killed, that's the only way they could have handled that situation. they handled it by the book. i'm very impressed with their work. >> reporter: much more from dallas ahead. but for now, we'll go back to the studio in new york. >> scott, thank you very much.

police are on alert in the country after what happened in dallas. kris van cleave is in washington on what departments are doing to protect their own. chris, good morning. >> good morning, cbs has learned the new york city police department has increased security around all city p. all officers working in pairs. we reached out to police around the country. some told us they're proceeding as usual, including the los angeles police department, others have put officers on alert. the l.a. county sheriff's office told us it remains in a heightened state awareness. miami, told us that department is meeting today to create contingency plans, las vegas metro police, their officers will be working in pairs until further notice. this is not the first time in recent memory officers have come under fire during a protest. in ferguson, march 2015, two officers were shot outside police head quarts.

a former law enforcement told me adding additional cops is common in situations like this. but playing in the back of many minds this morning, a sense of being targeted. law enforcement tells cbs news they've observed an increase, calling for quote the killing of cops. kr kristine. thank you. there are new developments in the minnesota and louisiana shooting. ahead, police identify the officer behind the deadly confrontation. plus, investigators have new video that could change our understanding of what happened. you're watching "cbs this morning." ♪ the sun'll come out tomorrow... ♪ for people with heart failure, tomorrow is not a given. but entresto is a medicine that helps make more tomorrows possible.

good morning to our viewers in the west. it is friday july 8th, 2016. welcome to "cbs this morning." ahead, complete coverage of the police ambush in dallas. scott pelley is there with new details on one of the deadliest attacks on law enforcement since 9/11. but first today's eye opener at 8:00. >> a deadly attack on police in dallas. snipers ambushed officers turning a peaceful protest into chaos. >> just before 9:00 p.m. officers became the target of an enemy they could not see. >> the suspect was killed. he had claimed he was acting alone, but the police are holding three other suspects. >> just said he was upset at white people. the suspect stated he wanted to

kill white people, especially white officers. >> i think there are a lot of individuals that are upset about the police shootings that we've had. but there's a way you can express your opinion about that. you don't arm yourself with weapons and attack and ambush officers during a peaceful demonstration. >> respectful of people who have a right to protest even if protesting against police. there they were protecting them. >> we're heartbroken. i sat there with two young girls that lost their fathers, they were stunned. i felt the love of the public safety officials that were at the hospital. you would be inspired to see how they wrapped their emotional arms around these families. i'm jeff glor with kristine johnson and jamie yuccas.

charlie, gayle and norah are off. the suspect in last night's police shooting told officers he was angry with police killings of black people and wanted to kill white people. [ gunfire ] >> the attack killed five officers and wounded seven others at the end of an other side peaceful protest. scott pelley has been leading our coverage in dallas this morning. we return to him again. scott. >> reporter: dozens of bullets flew in an unprecedented attack on downtown dallas. cbs news has now confirmed that 25-year-old micah xavier johnson is the man that police have identified as the shooter. police say that they killed him overnight when negotiations during an hours' long standoff broke down. last night's gunfire ambushed police in an apparent coordinated attack. while officers monitored protest of police killings in other

cities. president obama addressed the tragedy in poland this morning calling it a despicable act. he said he spoke to the mayor of dallas offering any assistance that the federal government can lend. the evening began with a protest march in solidarity with victims of this week's police killings of two black men in louisiana and in minnesota. but officers were targeted by an enemy they could not see. police, people ran for their lives in chaos, police had three suspects in custody. a fourth barricaded himself in a parking garage. he was killed by a police bomb that was carried to his location by a robot. dallas police chief david brown spoke this morning about how officers won't let the shooting change their city. >> these officers are guardians of this great democracy, the freedom to protest, the freedom to speech, the freedom for

expression, all freedoms we fight for with our lives. it's what makes us who we are as americans. so we risk our lives for those rights. so we won't militaryize our policing standards, but we will do it in a much safer way every time. like we chose to do it this time. we had an adequate amount of officers at this scene. and we were blocking traffic and doing all the things to protect people's right to protest. and their free speech. we are not going to let a cowar who would ambush police officers change our democracy. we're not going to do it. our city, our country is better than that. >> reporter: chief brown said earlier today that micah johnson told the officers he had acted

alone before johnson was killed. but there are three suspects in custody. and the investigation is just beginning. now back to you in new york. >> with us from washington is naacp president and ceo cornell william brooks. mr. brooks, good morning to you. >> good morning. >> i want to get your reaction to what happened in dallas. >> it is absolutely horrific. there are many people in the world who would find it ironic that you have five police officers who lost their lives beside people peacefully protesting against police misconduct. the fact that they gave their lives for their fellow citizens, for civilians, for this country, speaks well of their character as police officers. it speaks well of the constitution. it speaks well of our country even amidst this grief-stricken moment.

>> you have two very separate issues happening here that are both tragedies. we as a nation have become so divisive in terms of how we're talking about both of these issues. what's your response? >> well, it's clear that we can appreciate and have respect for the work law enforcement does day in and day out where they put their lives on the line for their fellow citizens. even as we hold them to the highest standards of accouabil y accountability. we can grieve for the loss of their lives, we can also grieve for the loss of life of mr. castile and mr. sterling and their families. we have said over the course of at least the last two years that our lives matter, whether your skin is black or your uniform is blue. >> "the washington post" investigation found that 105 fatal shootings by police have been captured on camera.

what do you think that says about the state that we are in that people feel as though they need to record these incidents? >> it's as if we have a country of fellow citizens living in fear and apprehension because of a minority of officers who defile the profession by their conduct. it speaks to the apprehension among our citizens who understand all too well that when you as american are wrapped in white skin, it is a cloth if you will of respectability and credibility. a flag jacket if you will that protects you. if on the other hand you as an american wrapped in black or brown skin, it is a cloth of vulnerability or victimhood. we have to respond to the problem not with hand wringing but with policy. and what that means at the federal level certainly is passing the law enforcement trust integrity act. it means national standard for

excessive use of force. it means showing up at the polls in november and voting for the kind of protection at the polls that you expect in the streets. >> this isn't exactly a new issue. we've been talking about this over and over and over again. why can't we get anything done? >> well, we have to develop the political will to do that. one of the things i take heart in is that the naacp came into being in the last century to combat a form of racialized violence called lynching. we brought it to an end. we in this century face a form of racialized violence called police misconduct. we can, when we will, to do so with a strategy and plan bring police misconduct to an end. we can do that. there are cities that have done it. there are cities that have gotten it right. we can in fact do this better across the country. we have to do it at both the federal level and at the state and municipal level.

>> cornell, i know you're the father of two sons. i wonder how you talk to them about not only what happened in minneapolis, in baton rouge, not only after that but also after what happens in dallas last night. >> like a great many african-american parents, my wife and i had the talk, as we call it, with our sons. and the talk was not about the birds and the bees but rather the police and civilians and how they interact. we will also talk with them about dallas. where we will say to them, as we have said to them, is in the same way that you do not judge all african-americans in a stereotypical way or latinos or jews or gentiles or any group in the country, we cannot judge law enforcement to the prism of stereotype generalization. that being said, law enforcement is in a state of crisis. racial profiling is real.

police misconduct and police brutality is real. so we say to them be hopeful. be confident about our ability to effect change, but also be vigilant and be aware we face a crisis in the country. that's what we will say to them. >> cornell william brooks, we're going to have to leave it. thank you very much for joining us. >> thank you. the attack in dallas is changing so many conversations around the country right now. bob schieffer looks at the tragedy and how americans should respond. first it is

it is 8:11 and we are standing by for a statement from attorney general loretta lynch. we'll bring that to you in a cbs news special report. you're watching "cbs this morning." see me. see me. don't stare at me. see me. see me. see me to know that psoriasis is just something that i have. i'm not contagious.

see me to know that... ...i won't stop until i find what works. discover cosentyx, a different kind of medicine for moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. proven to help the majority of people find clear or almost clear skin. 8 out of 10 people saw 75% skin clearance at 3 months. while the majority saw 90% clearance. do not use if you are allergic to cosentyx. before starting, you should be tested for tuberculosis. an increased risk of infections and lowered ability to fight them may occur... ...tell your doctor if you have an infection or symptoms... ...such as fever, sweats, chills, muscle aches or cough. or if you have received a vaccine or plan to. if you have inflammatory bowel disease, tell your doctor if symptoms develop or worsen. serious allergic reactions may occur. see me. see me. see me. on my way. find clear skin... and a clearer path forward. for a different kind of medicine, ask your dermatologist about cosentyx. we're in the middle most nights, this is the potty. these robot sheets, they needed more than detergent could handle. they needed a rescue. otherwise, we might've had to say

bye-bye to our favorite robots. so we found this booster, tide rescue, in the stain remove aisle and added it with our detergent. it cleans deep down, where detergent alone just doesn't. daddy, i've got to go potty. progress! tide rescue. the in-wash booster that eliminates odors. find it in the stain remover aisle. is caringing because covering heals faster. for a bandage that moves with you and stays on all day, cover with a band-aid brand flexible fabric adhesive bandage.

former chief washington correspondent and "face the nation" moderator bob schieffer is a native of ft. worth, texas. he's now cbs news contributor and in washington this morning joining us with more on what we saw in dallas last night and have seen this morning as well. bob, what are your thoughts right now? >> well, this is a very serious

and a very dangerous situation. and the thing that concerns me, jeff, is this is much different than what we have been seeing before. this is not some deranged person with a gun. this is somebody with obvious either military training or training from somewhere, and a group of people who made a carefully planned and coordinated ambush. this was a military ambush in the classic style. you put your shooters in the high ground, you conceal them and then you wait for your prey, whoever that might be, to walk into your line of fire. and then you start shooting. again, these people not only were highly trained and disciplined, they also knew how to use these weapons that they were using. they didn't just spray bullets into this crowd. they picked out their targets, and they shot them. they shot 12 police officers, killed five of them. this is an extraordinary thing

that we saw unfold here. we came to know something about the connection these people have and the motive the one suspect that was later killed told the police he hated white people, he hated police officers, he was angry about black lives matter. so that tells us something about the motivation, but at this point we still don't know how many of these people that there were. we know there are three that are in custody, but when the police and the mayor said we're not going to tell you anything about these suspects, this says to me that they think there are more people involved. and they are still negotiating and talking to these people and trying to get information from them. so i think at this point in this story what we don't know is as important as the things we do know. >> bob, i want to clarify with the audience, we just showed a

picture of that one suspect you were talking about, micah johnson. in terms of what you were talking about that he was upset with officers -- there's his picture right there. that he was upset with white people, you have been covering, you know, racial tensions in this country for more than 60 years. in terms of the anger and the divisiveness that we're seeing right now, what do you think about that? >> well, it's just one more manifestation of that. but, again, the important thing here is who are these people. is this some sort of a larger organization? this is an organized attack. and what we don't know is how many people there are, exactly where they are. is this some sort of a militia that we're just now knowing about? is this four or five guys who just got together and said we got to do something about that? that is what makes this so, so volatile, jamie.

and increases the danger. i mean, we're living in a very dangerous time. there's no other way to put it. we go to bed at night and we wake up and say what will tomorrow bring and how can it be worse than what happened today in that it turns out to be worse. whether you're covering politics, whether you're covering weather stories, whether you're covering race relations, and these continuing and ongoing attacks. this is different. this may be something of a turning point in this whole thing. and at this point who can say how this is going to come out. >> it really is a scary time, bob. i know a lot of people as you mentioned are waking up this morning wondering if we have reached the tipping point. do you believe that maybe legislators, our country's leaders, need to rethink these policies and change the game plan? because obviously it doesn't seem to be working. >> well, we need to rethink everything. because this is a very complex

thing. we need -- you know, immediately the people are for more gun control and all that say it's all about the guns. it is partly about the guns. it is partly about being willing to take this on in a serious way. but, you know, we've got to establish trust between police departments and the communities they serve. that's another part of this. we've got to know who these people are. i mean, the ironic thing here is the dallas police department is pretty good police department. they're very forward thinking. the mayor there enjoys very widespread bipartisan support. they are looking to the future. and they've done a good job. but here it happens in their backyard. >> bob schieffer, thank you for your perspective. >> you bet. a pastor describes the moments that the peaceful dallas rally turned into chaos. his firsthand accounts of the

violence is ahead on "cbs this morning." can you love wearing powerful sunscreen? yes! neutrogena® ultra sheer. unbeatable protection helps prevent early skin aging and skin cancer with a clean feel. the best for your skin. ultra sheer®. neutrogena®. words panera lives by. no artificial flavors, preservatives, sweeteners. no colors from artificial sources. 100% of our food will be clean by year's end. that's food as it should be.

good morning. let's jump to the roads. a couple of things towards the bay bridge this morning. westbound near gilman we have reports of an accident blocking at least one lane. so slow-and-go conditions now off the eastshore freeway. once you get past that, though, you have a lot of brake lights at the bay bridge. the problem was we had a stalled vehicle now cleared but it really caused a major backup there. so you are slow out of the maze this morning all approaches now starting to feel the heat and

welcome back to "cbs this morning." we've been covering the dallas sniper shootings all morning long. if you are just joining us, here is what happened. five police officers were killed in an ambush during peaceful demonstrations last night. seven other officers and two civilians were wounded. >> police killed one suspect with a bomb squad explosive after a standoff that lasted for several hours. the man identified by sources as micah johnson, said he acted alone. but police are questioning three other suspects. >> we are awaiting a news conference at this hour with attorney general loretta lynch in washington. we will bring that to you live as it happens in a special

report. but as we wait for the attorney general in washington, jan crawford is also standing by waiting for that too. jan. >> reporter: well, jeff, i mean obviously this is going to be a crucial moment for attorney general lynch and her leadership as she really is going to seek to bridge a divide between law enforcement and the african-american community. lynch came into the job as attorney general with significant support from law enforcement. she's a former federal prosecutor in brooklyn, she's gotten high marks for her efforts to really reach out and develop a good relationship with police including those rank and file officers. and, you know, that is in contrast in some ways to her predecessor eric holder. like lynch, i mean, holder was a federal prosecutor. his brother is a retired police officer. but he developed strained relations with law enforcement after several police shootings of unarmed african-american men like in ferguson, missouri. and lynch has really tried to strike a balance where she's vigorously enforcing civil rights laws while also

supporting law enforcement. she's just done a community policing tour, in fact. she was on that tour when she met last week on the tarmac in phoenix with bill clinton. but she is really focused on bridging that divide up until this point, but obviously today this moment going forward the biggest test she could imagine. >> jan, thank you. we of course will have the attorney general's remarks as soon as they happen. we're awaiting those at any moment. house speaker paul ryan spoke this morning about the tragedy in dallas. >> we are all stunned by the events last night in dallas. we're all outraged. an attack on the people who protect us is an attack on all of us. our hearts are with the dallas police department. our hearts are with the victims,

and especially with their loved ones. they wear the badge too. i know that to be a cop's wife or a cop's husband is to prepare for the worst. but who could have fathomed such horror as this? there's no cause or context in which this violence, this kind of terror is justified, none at all. there will be a temptation to let our anger harden our divisions. let's not let that happen. ⌞> the presumptive presidential nominees are also reacting this morning. chip reid is in scranton, pennsylvania, where hillary clinton scheduled a rally today with vice president joe biden, but that has changed, chip. >> reporter: yes, it has. it has been canceled or postponed. and that is true of trump's early events today too. hillary clinton was supposed to speak here, as you said, with joe biden. this is the town where he was born and where he spent the first ten years of his life. we were expected to hear some fiery political speeches, but of course the tone of this campaign

has changed dramatically. in a tweet hillary clinton said i mourn for the officers shot while doing their sacred duty to protect peaceful protesters, for their families and all who served with them. now, trump was scheduled to give a speech, a policy speech in miami on succeeding together, he was also expected to meet with hispanic community leaders. all of that has been postponed or canceled. he also released a statement in which he called for law and order and added our nation has become too divided, too many americans feel like they've lost hope. crime is harming too many citizens. racial tensions have gotten worse, not better. this isn't the american dream we all want for our children. as for hillary clinton, she will keep an appointment to speak to the african methodist national convention in philadelphia later today. and that also was expected to be a fairly fiery political speech. but i think you're going to hear it very somber, prayerful tone. kristine. >> chip, thank you.

michael bautista was at last night's protest when a barrage of bullets were exchanged. he captured video on his phone of dallas police officers under attack. they protected themselves by diving behind their patrol cars. scott pelley in dallas spoke with bautista earlier. and bautista described what he saw. >> there were a lot of gunfire. at first i was coming around the corner from the garage, and i thought that the bullets were coming -- or the riddling was coming from in there. yet they were coming from down the street. and i actually ran in front of all of that gunfire as i was trying to get to safer location. what i heard was even more terrifying, it was the sound of it. you know, it was tap, tap, tap, tap, very rapid fire. mixed with, you know, what was going on with the police officers as well.

and when i got over to where i was safer, which i took shelter behind a tree at first, i noticed that one of the officers had fallen down on the ground and that he was being attended to. and later was pulled in to a -- he was pulled into a squad car and moved to another location. i didn't see where they took him. i saw a bunch of s.w.a.t. cars. and a lot of reeling on the squad cars. >> reporter: how would you describe the protest march itself and the demeanor of the people involved and their relations with the police officers who were protecting the protest march? >> the protest march was very peaceful. throughout the entirety of it. it wasn't until the very end whenever people were released that that's when the gunfire started.

the protest itself was very peaceful, very dedicated to the black lives matter cause. >> reporter: so this wasn't provoked by anything that you saw. this was an attack that was preplanned and came out of the blue. >> i really couldn't speak on that. i mean, that was -- excuse me. >> reporter: there was nothing in the protest march that would have provoked violence that you saw? >> no, no. nothing in the protest march. not that i saw. >> reporter: just the shots started coming down. >> yes. >> reporter: and there were a lot of shots? >> there were hundreds of shots. hundreds of shots. >> reporter: could you see where the snipers were firing from? >> i couldn't see where they were coming from. i could only see where the bullets were hitting, which was on the other side of the cop cars from where i was standing at from where i got my eyewitness account. >> reporter: did you see any civilians wounded? >> i didn't see any civilians wounded, no. >> reporter: just the police officers?

>> yes. >> reporter: once the shooting began, what happened in the crowd? >> everybody started running and screaming. nobody really knew where to go. we couldn't tell where the shots were coming from. as i was saying before, i thought they were coming from a garage. when we went into the garage, i thought they were coming from outside of a garage, i went in and it got louder. so i stepped out so i could better assess my surroundings. and when i stepped out i started to realize where the shots were coming from, across the street. i got to a safer location. and, yeah, told other people, you know, to take cover. >> we are standing by at this moment for a press conference from attorney general loretta lynch. she will be speaking from the justice department. we will bring that to you when it happens, but first let's check your local weather. in low income neighborhoods

get the help they need to stay in school

pastor michael w. waters was helping to lead the peaceful rally before the dallas shooting. it was coming to an end when he heard gunshots and helped people to safety. scott pelley spoke to him earlier in dallas. pastor waters described how the calm demonstration suddenly turned into chaos. >> for the initial part of our gathering i saw a beautiful

picture of america. person of every race, creed, young and old, would come together to express their concern for several tragedies taking part in this nation. and so we had a very peaceful rally, very peaceful march. and we were disbursing individuals to return to their vehicles when gunshots were fired. >> reporter: it was over, the march was ending? >> the march had concluded. we had a moment of silence, reflection in lives that were lost, we gave directions that were given to us by the dallas police department in terms of how to disburse. and individuals were literally casually walking back to their vehicles. >> reporter: when the gunfire broke out, what did you see? what did you hear? >> initially i didn't hear the gunfire. i was on the side watching as individuals were passing. what i saw first was this mass of humanity running back in my direction. and my instinct told me that i needed to move wherever they were moving. and we took cover.

and it was only after we had taken cover that we continued to hear gunshots take place and decide to move to a safer place. >> reporter: how would you characterize the gunshots? >> they were random. i mean, obviously in a scene like that the concern is where are they coming from, who was shooting. no one knows. a very peaceful scene turned chaotic very quickly. >> was there anything in the protest march that might have set off this violence? >> nothing that i saw, nothing that was aware of. in fact, the police officers who accompanied us did a tremendous job in ensuring that we were safe, we were in direct conversation and collaboration to make sure that all persons who participated in the march stay within the bounds of that march. it was a beautiful night. and it was after the disbergs. we are getting video of a house in mesquite, texas, the
