01:25Poland: Obama condemns 'vicious' Dallas sniper attack from NATO summit
US President Barack Obama condemned the "vicious, calculated and despicable" attack on 11 law enforcement officers in Dallas, which saw 5 officers killed and 6 injured, speaking on the sidelines of the NATO Summit in Warsaw on Friday.
Obama stated that like most US citizens, he was "horrified" over the events in Dallas, adding that the government and the whole of the US stood "united with the people and the police department in Dallas."
While admitting that the details of the strike and the attackers' "twisted motivations" were yet to be established, the US leader asserted "there is no possible justification for these kinds of attacks."
Sniper rounds ripped through the Dallas night, late on Thursday, killing 5 officers and wounding at least 6 more, during a protest against the police killing of African-Americans Alton Sterling and Philando Castile. Police reports indicate that two snipers fired multiple shots at officers from an elevated position in the city centre.
