Dallas college employee recalls chaos in shooting

Posted

In the wake of the Dallas ambush on police officers, several areas and locations are blocked off in Downtown Dallas.

Five officers were gunned down when a shooter ambushed them. Civilians that were either participating in the protest or in the area scattered in the chaos.

Minu Barbosa-Concha, an employee at Dallas’ El Centro College, was in the area at the time of the shooting.

Barbosa-Concha described the chaos as police rushed her out of the building.

Police radio chatter was audible when a dispatcher announced an officer was dead and some of the protesters cheered.

“It was upsetting for me, because that’s a life,” said Barbosa-Concha. “They’re human beings regardless of profession, race, gender, or anything that is life. That’s a human being life.”
