Several events are planned for Friday and Saturday to mark seven years since the ambush in Downtown Dallas that left five police officers dead.
The shooting happened during a peaceful Black Lives Matter protest in July 2016.
"It's tough. I appreciate everybody being here, thank you," a family member of one of the fallen officers said.Police used a robot and explosives to kill the shooter, who was found hiding on Dallas College’s El Centro campus. Washington is now retired. He got emotional when officers applauded his heroic action at the ceremony.
Garcia was working in California at the time, not knowing then that he would end up serving as Dallas' police chief just a few years later.At the end of the ceremony, a wreath was laid outside where the ambush happened.The five officers’ names are forever etched into the side of this police memorial, honoring all of our fallen officers.
