As hundreds marched peacefully through downtown Dallas on Thursday evening to protest two recent fatal police shootings, gunfire broke out, scattering the crowd. Snipers killed five police officers and wounded six others, as well as one civilian, according to Associated Press reports.
Raw video of the chaotic scene was captured by members of the media and the public, as people sought cover and fled the sound of gunfire.
