Two Dallas police officers were critically wounded in a shooting outside a home improvement store, authorities said.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Police Chief U Renee Hall said a store loss-prevention officer also was shot in the incident about 4:15 pm yesterday outside a Home Depot in northern Dallas.<\/p>\n
In a tweet about the shooting last evening, the Dallas Police Department said the officers were critically wounded. During a news conference last night at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Dallas, Hall declined to give an update on their conditions, citing consideration for the privacy of the officers’ families.<\/p>\n
“We’re asking you to continue praying for our officers,” Hall said.<\/p>\n
The two police officers went to the store to assist an off-duty police officer with taking a man into custody and then the shooting happened.<\/p>\n
A 29-year-old man is being sought as a person of interest. Hall said the man left the scene in a white pickup truck.<\/p>\n
“I continue to be upset at the lack of respect of our police in this city and in our country,” said Mayor Mike Rawlings, who also attended the hospital news conference.<\/p>\n
In 2016, four Dallas police officers and a transit officer were shot dead by a sniper in an ambush that came toward the end of a peaceful protest over the police killings of black men that had occurred in other cities.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
