Dallas Police Department Chief David Brown said he and his family have received death threats since the attack on July 7 in which five officers were killed.
Gunfire broke out in Downtown Dallas at around 8:45 p.m. as hundreds of protesters had gathered to demonstrate against two fatal police shootings in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and St. Paul, Minnesota.
Authorities identified the shooter as 25-year-old Micah Johnson, a U.S. army veteran.
Brown, who describes himself as “a person of faith,” said he and his family received death threats from all over the country after the shooting. Authorities are labeling all threats as credible, Brown said at a live-streamed press conference on Monday.
