Dallas Mayor Eric L. Johnson’s Statement on the Shooting of Three Dallas Police Officers

DALLAS — Mayor Eric L. Johnson on Friday released the following statement on the shooting that killed one officer and wounded two others.

“Dallas has lost a hero. We all grieve with the officer’s family today, and we pray for a full and swift recovery for the two officers who were wounded.

“This is devastating. In Dallas, we put public safety first. We stand up to violent criminals. We ask our police officers to do dangerous work so the rest of us can sleep peacefully. These dedicated public servants do so with grace, honor, respect, humility and extraordinary courage. And this attack on three of our protectors is nothing short of an attack on our city, our families, and our way of life. We must continue their work to stop violence in our communities. We must never forget their sacrifice. And we must take the time to come together and lift each other up as we mourn our fallen.”

Note: Mayor Johnson is currently isolating with COVID and will be unable to conduct interviews. The mayor has been in communication with Interim City Manager Kim Tolbert and Chief Eddie Garcia about the incident. Mayor Johnson has asked that city flags be flown at half-staff.
