wrong. i was just driving. but i was so scared. >> reporter: some say the problem is race. >> you're guilty as your counterparts which are perpetrators. if you're black america and remain silent, you also are a problem. we need to acknowledge that there's a problem and we need to come up with solutions. >> reporter: last night, demonstrators marched from the white house to the capitol. they are aware that the dallas gunman said that he was upset about the recent police shootings of black men. >> i think it's very saddening and heartbreaking that innocent police lives were taken last night and we have to realize that just because we have innocent people in our community being killed due to police brutality doesn't mean we go out and retaliate against all other officers as well. >> reporter: d.c. police will protect the protesters when they are out on the streets. they will provide rolling road closures blocking intersections when the

that's the latest, chris and doreen, back to you. >> thank you very much, chris. obviously we've got a lot going on here. we've been following the developments in dallas as well as what is happening here in d.c. do we want to stay in d.c. or go back out to dallas? >> let's listen in to this news conference. >> much-needed help in this effort. the same time, i offered him a flag of the state -- excuse me. the city and he'll take that back and fly that in honor of this. before we do that, though, i wanted to deliver a little bit of news that i thinks relevant that people want to hear. as many of you know, the police released the confirmation that the

johnson, 25 years old, we have been working this case throughout the night and throughout the day and we believe that given the fact that we have today, that mr. johnson, now deceased, was the lone shooter in this incident and by piecing together what was happening at the time, there was confusion by people running around but this was a mobile shooter that had written manifestos on how to shoot and move, shoot and move and he did that. he did his damage and we did damage to him as well. and we believe now that the

is safe and that the suspect is dead and we can move on to healing. part of that healing is to get the support all over the state and the lieutenant governor was here and now the governor of the state of texas. thank you, governor abbott, for being here. >> mayor, thank you. i want to thank you for the leadership that you always show but also especially the leadership that you provided over the last 24 hours. you've been a voice of calm and reason that dallas is going back to work and also want

for his unrelenting resolve for focusing on resolving this issue as swiftly as possible. i also want to express a gratitude to the state of texas for all of the first responders who responded so effectively to the urgencies of last night and my gratitude to the white house because the of the president's trip we were unable to make an official connection but he wanted to express his sorrow and grief for the people in law enforcement in dallas but also any assistance that he could provide. similarly, i want to thank my fellow governors. i've had many contact me about ways in which they can help in

dallas' loss. >> this is a news conference in dallas with the dallas mayor there. and he seemed to indicate that micah johnson was acting alone about written manifestos about shoot and move. in other words, taking shots and moving to a different location which is why we saw reports about multiple shooters. >> indeed. we also heard from texas governor greg abbott thanking and expressing leadership in dallas as that city deals with this crisis. >> yeah. this is reverberating all over the country, especially here in d.c. news4's shomari stone is with the protesters heading to the white house. >> what's the mood out there? >> reporter: you can see the protesters of all different

through here, many who have signs that read things such as, how much more blood has to be shed before this is brought to an end? black lives matter. you can see all of these different people, many have gathered and the crowd continues to grow. they plan ongoing to chinatown and then on their way to the white house, demanding action from congress and president obama. many of them say that they are fired up. they can't take it no more. now, it's important to point out that these protests yesterday and right now are peaceful a lot of folks say that they are mourning the death of the officers who were killed last night in what they describe as a horrific shooting. the group believes that blacks are being systematically and unfairly targeted for demise.

want peace and want to be treated equally. now, one protester says that black lives matter and they said that everyone's life matters and black lives matter. they are fired up and can't take it no more. we are going to move over here. these folks are coming around on constitution avenue. you can see all different races, ages, religion. it's a peaceful march and many say that they are sick and tired of what they describe as police brutality many say that they are absolutely horrified when they saw the video of alton sterling and the video of philando castile. we'll continue to bring you updates when they become available. i'm going to do a facebook livestream for you at nbcwashington.com and my facebook page shomari

officers say is working to do just that. and we know that police technology has come a long way since the wars in iraq and afghanistan started. up next, bomb squad robots. the technology that officers use to stop the suspect last n

even before the shooting in dallas, a lot of people had fears about the police and now some officers are also on guard. >> but there are a lot of departments like d.c. where they are trying to improve that trust in the communities. news4's meagan fitzgerald has been speaking with officers and now she's live from northeast. what are they telling you about where we need to go from here? >> reporter: well, you know, chris, if you talk to a lot of people about why they fear police, many will tell you it's because of the interaction that they had or an interaction that they've seen someone else have. that's why law enforcement departments like d.c. police hold events like the one behind me here. it's police mixing with the community, a way of rebuilding trust andpe

conversation further. >> it's a sad day for not only law enforcement but for the entire country. >> reporter: two black men were killed at the hands of officers, one caught on camera. >> i told him to get his hands up. >> reporter: the others livestreamed on facebook after shots were fired. now the country mourns fiveé#[ñ police officers gunned down in dallas while protecting protesters. >> it's a dangerous job each and every day. now there's a heightened level of fear. >> reporter: fear for officers concerned about being targets of violence. >> we're scared for our lives. >> reporter: and many people of color fearing those who are supposed to protect and fear their neighborhoods. it's a problem that retired pd dwyanest

to be built. beat the streets is a program npd has had in place for neerlg a decade. neighbors enjoy food and games. >> it's very important to see that we can come together as a community and get things done. everybody's job keeps people safe. >> it gives the kids an opportunity to have a fellow officer out here with them, you know, socializing and showing them we can all get together and have a nice time. it doesn't have to be a lot of violence. >> reporter: it's something that many agree is a step in the right direction. >> you need more programs like that. that definitely cannot hurt. will it fix the problem overnight? absolutely not. but we're heading in the right direction. >> reporter: now, this is one of just many community outreach events that npd has. this particular event, beat the streets, is in several different neighborhoods throughout the city at several different

throughout the year. back to you. police used a robot armed with a bomb to kill the suspect which ended the hours' long standoff. >> tom, we've seen these robots before but we've never seen them used in quite this way. what did you learn about this? >> we don't believe that this has ever happened before. we think this is the first time that a bomb was ever used, detonated as an extension of a robot. we all know that robots have become very common with s.w.a.t. teams around the country and taking the technology that's been deployed and used in these battlefield scenarios and then applying it to urban scenarios. this is the first time that we believe a bomb has ever been detonated and i've talked to a former s.w.a.t. team commander who said, listen, i don't think they had any choice. they already had five cops down,

were down and they could not get a clean shot at this guy. at a certain point, all bets are off, is what he was saying. if they were able to use modern tactics against the guy, by the way, armed with a semiautomatic weapon who was using battlefield tactics himself, that may be a watershed moment where police tactics are going in this country. >> this was a unique, almost unprecedented siege that we saw. a lot of people are concerned about how robots may be used in the future. i understand this probably would not be an option if you had a lot of civilians around. could it change the way robots are used down the road? >> i think it's likely to be studied by police departments nationwide. when they are concerned about putting their own people at risk in a scenario like that. that said, it is highly unlikely that we're going to see police

bombs but in extreme situations, the question is whether dallas has set a new standard or mark, i should say, in policing. and i think time will tell. it is also true that we are just a much more mill titarized soci and the police are outgunned. >> a sad turn of events. more coming up on "nbc nightly news." >> absolutely. we'll take you to montgomery county's bomb squad and show you what their bombs look like. tonight, a man from northern virginia is accused of taking pictures as part of a plan to help isis. the friend he was working with was actually a confidential witness for the government. julie carey spoke with his parents and is joining us live outside of federal court. julie? >> reporter: well, investigators say haris qamar agreed to take photos for a video isis wanted to make to i

attacks in the d.c. area. he also created multiple twitter accounts that glorified isis and taunted american service members. his parents are deeply disappointed that their well-educated son has allegedly turned to isis. the pentagon was just one d.c. area landmark haris qamar allegedly photographed for his list of potential terrorist targets. now the 25-year-old qamar faces the charges that he provided material support to isis. his parents invited me inside their home telling me that their son was arrested there earlier this morning. they didn't go to qamar's hearing saying that he's on his own now. >> if he's responsible, let him suffer also. >> reporter: it was qamar's twitter postings that drew attention to him. he set up 60 accounts with new we are jihadi

pictures of beheadings. qamar was befriended by a confidential informant who said that his cousin was an isis member. he confessed his murderous fantasies saying that he could slaughter someone if had the opportunity. the fbi had qamar under surveillance in early june as he drove with the confidential witness taking pictures of those sites. as he passed the pentagon, qamar shouted, bye-bye, d.c., kill them all. court documents show qamar's interest in isis led to confrontations with his father who took his birth certificate away so he couldn't renew his passport and travel abroad. today, his father angrily told me his son turned to crime because he was lazy. >> i was not happy with him about his education because he was not paying attention to

education. >> reporter: in alexandria, julie carey, news4. 66 animals found in a woman's home in montgomery county and she's going to jail for the way she treated them. new details on what motivated the suspect in dallas including why he targeted white police officers. plus, our police in fairfax county keep on patrolling after like the one in dallas and how this is impacting police man: hey baby, how are you? woman: i have a surprise for you. man: you have a surprise for me? narrator: at dominion, 1 in 5 new hires is a veteran. and when they're away, they miss out on a lot. but they won't miss out on financial support. because we cover any difference between their military pay

moments ago, we heard an update on last night's tragic shooting. the gunman had a manifesto and planned the shooting well in advance. >> authorities confirmed he acted alone and used a rifle and handgun during his attack on police. and when investigators went to his home, they found an arsenal, including bomb-making materials, ballistic vests and a personal journal of combat tactics. we're getting new information from law enforcement sources about what happened inside the building where police ultimately confronted johnson. >> we'll send it now to our sister station kxas in dallas and to scott friedman. >> reporter: micah xavier johnson was laughing, not afraid, singing. he told police that heha

working out in preparation. i'm told johnson was wearing a military-style bulletproof vest. he told police he spent time in the military and was carrying a military-style rifle. he did do deployments to afghanistan. a law enforcement source tells me johnson was hit by gunfire before going into a community college campus building that officers actually followed johnson's blood trail into the building. police found him on the second oor and then fired more rounds through a wall. apparently hitting johnson again and wounding him. after that, the negotiations with him began and after several hours, johnson threatening to charge the officers. johnson indicated initially he only wanted to talk with black police officers, that he didn't want to have anything to do with white people. i'm told he shared police conspiracies and his dislike for police officers. in terms of intensity in this situation on a scale of 1 to 10, this

>> it's one of those in which you can make a big difference and the differences are priceless. >> reporter: that de-escalation training we told you about began in fairfax county after the police shooting and part of their updated use of force policy, if you will. we wondered what impact, if any, these police killings and police tragedies may have on recruitment at fairfax county. the number of applications at the county are down but that could be because of other factors. doreen. >> thank you, david. sadly, many in our community know the results of police shootings. >> this man was in off duty and killed by friendly fire. lester holt will be live from dallas at 7:00 p.m.

veteran, law enforcement officials began to raid his home, micah johnson's, and then uncovered a number of details. there were a number of ballistic vests inside his home, plenty of ammo and a diary where he talked about combat tactics. remember, we heard from emergency officials where he engaged with negotiators with $ lengthy, verbal communication and told them that he had been working out and training for this day. let me set the scene for you. we are in downtown dallas at the corner of jackson and austin streets. the big, red brick building that you see hine behind me, that's you could hear shot after shot after shot. now that police have, it looks like concluded that he's the lone gunman in this awful tragedy, the way

it, this took place as he began to fire off shots from a second or even a six level of this garage and eventually made his way down to a ground level and began engaging officers in ground level combat and then worked his way back up into the garage. i want to let you listen to dallas mayor mike rawlings who spoke a few minutes ago. >> this was a mobile shooter that had written manifestos on how to shoot and move, shoot and move and he did that. he did his damage but we did damage to him as well. >> reporter: there are a number of law enforcement officials still on the scene above us right now, a number of helicopters in the area. of course, all of the different news organizations have descended upon the scene. later this evening, of course, an incredible showing of community. the texas rangers had their home m
