DALLAS (AP) -- The Dallas police chief says police are taking all threats as credible in the wake of the shooting that killed five officers last week.
Chief David Brown said at a news conference Monday that they have to do that for the sake of their families. He pointed to a threat he received from a private Facebook page to the Dallas Police Department's page that is being investigated.
Micah Johnson shot and killed five officers and wounded 9 officers and two civilians during a protest Thursday in downtown Dallas. He was killed by a bomb delivered by remote-controlled robot after negotiations with authorities.
The chief also says authorities are downloading more than 170 hours of officers' body camera footage and collecting "countless hours" of dashcam video as well.
He says 11 officers fired weapons at Micah Johnson and that two used an explosive device.
