SHANNON AND I'M PAIGE ELLENBERGER. THANKS FOR WAKING UP WITH US. WE BEGIN THIS HOUR CONTINUING OUR COVERAGE WITH BREAKING NEWS. AT LEAST ONE OFFICER IS DEAD, TWO OTHERS WOUNDED AFTER A SHOOTING IN DALLAS. DEFINITELY A TOUGH MORNING. FOX FOUR'S TESSA MUZINGA LIVE AT THE DALLAS MEDICAL CENTER, WHERE OFFICERS MET TO GRIEVE THEIR FALLEN COMRADES. SHE JOINS US WITH MORE. TESSA YEAH. GOOD MORNING TO YOU BOTH. I MEAN, REALLY NOT A GOOD MORNING. IT'S ACTUALLY REALLY DEVASTATING. AND IT WAS HARD TO SEE SOME OF THE OFFICERS, DOZENS OF OFFICERS HERE PAYING THEIR RESPECTS. I WANT YOU TO SEE THE VIDEO I GOT. I MEAN, I'VE BEEN HERE SINCE, I WOULD SAY BEFORE 2 A.M, AND IT'S JUST BEEN HEARTBREAKING FOR, YOU KNOW, EVERYONE THAT'S BEEN HERE SINCE THIS MORNING, AS FAR AS YOU KNOW, THE OFFICERS AND, YOU KNOW, FORT WORTH POLICE WERE ALSO HERE NOT JUST SUPPORTING BUT ALSO HELPING OUT AND ASSISTING AND KIND OF COORDINATING THINGS AS WELL AS FAR AS GETTING IN FOR HELPING MEDIA GET INFORMATION AND SO FORTH LIKE THAT. BUT YEAH, I'VE SEEN PEOPLE, YOU KNOW, THE OFFICERS PRAYING FOR ONE ANOTHER. I'VE SEEN THEM EMBRACING ONE ANOTHER AS WELL, ALSO SALUTING TO WHAT APPEARED TO BE THE FAMILY AS WELL. AND I DID ALSO SEE WHEN THE PROCESSION STARTED, THE MEDICAL STAFF, SOME MEDICAL STAFF AT THE HOSPITAL HERE COME OUT AND, YOU KNOW, SHOW THEIR RESPECTS AND ALSO EMBRACE EACH OTHER AS WELL, WHICH WAS VERY EMOTIONAL. BUT WE DID SPEAK TO A SPOKESPERSON FOR THE DALLAS POLICE DEPARTMENT, AND I WANT YOU GUYS TO LISTEN IN TO WHAT SHE HAD TO SAY. SHE'S ASKING RIGHT NOW THAT EVERYONE COME TOGETHER AND PRAY FOR THE DEPARTMENT AND THE COMMUNITY. OUR DEPARTMENT IS HURTING. WE HAVE OFFICERS WHO ARE INJURED, WHO ARE IN THE HOSPITAL, AND WE LOST ONE OF OUR OWN. WE ASKED TONIGHT AND THIS MORNING FOR THE THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS OF OUR CITY, FOR NOT ONLY THOSE WHO ARE RECOVERING IN THE HOSPITAL, BUT FOR OUR FALLEN, FOR THEIR FAMILY AND FOR THEIR LOVED ONES, AND FOR US AS A DEPARTMENT AS WELL. AND I WANT TO MENTION, GUYS, YOU KNOW, WHEN WE WERE TALKING TO THE SPOKESPERSON, YOU COULD JUST SEE HER HOLDING BACK TEARS. AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, IT'S BEEN VERY HARD AND EMOTIONAL FOR THE POLICE DEPARTMENT. THIS IS THE CALL THAT YOU NEVER WANT TO HEAR OR GET AS WELL. BUT AGAIN, IT'S QUIET RIGHT NOW. WE DID SEE SOME PEOPLE COME OUT HERE AS WELL THAT LOOKED LIKE THEY, YOU KNOW, LIVED NOT TOO FAR FROM THE AREA, ALSO SHOWING THEIR RESPECTS AS WELL. UP UNTIL THE PROCESSION WHICH STARTED ABOUT 4 A.M, A LITTLE AFTER 4 A.M, AS WE CARRIED HERE ON FOX FOUR. BUT AGAIN, RIGHT NOW, JUST QUIET. BUT AS AS SHE JUST MENTIONED, RIGHT NOW THEY'RE JUST ASKING FOR PRAYERS AND SUPPORT. BUT I WILL SAY THIS TO YOU, AND I'VE MENTIONED THIS ALL MORNING, IS AS PEOPLE ARE, YOU KNOW, TAKING IN THIS EMOTIONAL DAY, I HAVE SEEN A LOT OF PEOPLE ALSO JUST SUPPORTING ONE ANOTHER, BECAUSE THAT'S JUST WHAT THE COMMUNITY IS. SO ALTHOUGH IT'S HARD TO SEE, YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, THE, THE WHAT'S GOING ON AND WHAT'S UNFOLDING HERE AND THE NEWS OF THE OFFICER, YOU KNOW, BEING SHOT AND KILLED. I WILL SAY THAT IT IS IT'S BEEN NICE TO SEE, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE BRINGING EACH OTHER UP. AND I'VE SEEN OTHER PEOPLE WIPE EACH OTHER TEARS AS WELL. BACK TO YOU GUYS. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. SUCH A SOMBER MORNING. AND OUR COVERAGE CONTINUES FROM THE SCENE WHERE THIS SHOOTING ALL STARTED. FOX FOUR'S ALEX BOYER HAS THE LATEST FROM EAST OAK CLIFF. ALEX SO I'M STANDING ALONG LEDBETTER DRIVE HERE, WHICH IS SHUT DOWN TO GIVE FOLKS SOME PERSPECTIVE. WE'RE ABOUT A BLOCK OFF OF MARCELLUS AVENUE. YOU KNOW, HIS IS AS CL E AS WE CAN GET TO WHERE THAT SHOOTING HAPPENED BECAUSE OF THE FACT THAT YOU CAN SEE HERE, THE SCENE IS STILL CORDONED OFF AS INVESTIGATORS CONTINUE TO PROCESS WHAT HAPPENED HERE IN THE DISTANCE. THAT IS WHERE THAT VERY ACTIVE CRIME SCENE IS NOW. JUST AFTER 10:00 LAST NIGHT, 911 DISPATCH GOT A CALL ABOUT AN OFFICER IN DISTRESS. AND WHEN DALLAS POLICE OFFICERS ARRIVED ON SCENE NEAR THE OAK CLIFF COMMUNITY CENTER, THEY FOUND A FELLOW DPD OFFICER SHOT IN HIS MARKED PATROL CAR. RESPONDING OFFICERS THEN EXCHANGED GUNFIRE WITH THE SUSPECT AT THE SCENE, AND TWO OFFICERS WERE SHOT OF THE SUSPECT. THEN FLED THE SCENE BY CAR AND OTHER RESPONDING OFFICERS FOLLOWED. NOW, TXDOT CAMERAS CAPTURED PART OF THAT CHASE AS IT MOVED ALONG. LOOP 12 HEADED NORTH ALONG WEST SIDE OF DALLAS, MAKING ITS WAY ONTO I-35 EAST SURROUNDING AGENCIES THEN WERE CALLED IN TO HELP. THAT CHASE ENDED IN LEWISVILLE, WHERE THE SUSPECT WAS KILLED BY POLICE. NOW, DALLAS POLICE SPOKESWOMAN KRISTEN LOUGHMAN, WHO WE HEARD FROM EARLIER IN THIS REPORT, IN THAT VERY SHORT NEWS CONFERENCE, SHE DID NOT TAKE ANY QUESTIONS, BUT DID TRY TO LAY OUT HOW THINGS PLAYED OUT. AND SHE SAID THAT WHEN OFFICERS ENCOUNTERED THE SUSPECT IN LEWISVILLE, THAT THE SUSPECT GOT OUT OF THE VEHICLE WITH A LONG GUN IN THEIR HAND, AND THAT IS WHEN DALLAS POLICE OFFICERS RETURNED FIRE AND THAT SUSPECT DIED ON SCENE. SO AT THIS POINT, WHAT WE KNOW IS SADLY, ONE OFFICER, A DPD OFFICER FROM THIS ORIGINAL SCENE HERE IN DALLAS, WAS KILLED BY THE SUSPECT. WE KNOW THAT THE TWO OTHERS ARE STILL IN THE HOSPITAL BEING TREATED FOR THEIR INJURIES AT THIS POINT. AGAIN, NO ADDITIONAL DETAILS FROM KRISTEN LOUGHMAN NOT TAKING ANY QUESTIONS. SHE SAYS CHIEF EDDIE GARCIA, WHO APPEARS TO POSSIBLY BE OUT OF TOWN, IS BRIEFED ON WHAT'S HAPPENING. HE, OF COURSE, IS GOING TO GATHER ALL THE FACTS, ALL OF THE INFORMATION AND WHAT HAS BEEN TYPICAL PROTOCOL IN THE COMING DAYS, HE WILL HOLD A NEWS CONFERENCE AND BRIEF REPORTERS WITH MORE DETAILS ABOUT EXACTLY WHAT TRANSPIRED, BUT WHAT THEY'RE LOOKING TO DO AT THIS POINT IS REALLY GET A GAUGE AS
