The gunshots rang out about 9 p.m. following a protest and rally held over two people killed in police shootings in Louisiana and Minnesota this week. The shootings took place as the Black Lives Matter rally and march were ending.
Scores of police officers arrived downtown following the shooting, which took place near Main and Market streets and a block from the Old Red Courthouse building.

Officers could be seen taking cover, and video from the scene showed people running from the sound of the gunshots. There is no word on whether any civilians have been shot.
At 10 p.m. NBC 5’s Cory Smith reported that Dallas police believe they have a gunman confined to a building and are currently negotiating with that person. source
