President Obama will cut short his European trip by one day and visit Dallas early next week, the White House announced.
What else we have learned:
- The gunman killed during the Dallas standoff was the lone shooter in the deaths of five officers, said Mayor Mike Rawlings. “We believe now that the city is safe,” he said.
- At the same news conference, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott urged vigilance: “What will be important is to ensure that there are no other potential co-conspirators."
- Investigators identified the dead shooter as 25-year-old Micah Xavier Johnson of Mesquite, Texas, a military veteran who served in Afghanistan.
- Police said they searched Johnson’s home and found bomb-making materials, ballistic vests, rifles, ammunition and a personal journal of combat tactics.
- Johnson had at least two weapons with him during the attack, a rifle and a handgun, two law enforcement officials told CNN's Evan Perez and Shimon Prokupecz. One of the officials said the long gun was an SKS, a Russian-designed semi-automatic rifle.
- People across the United States are planning to come together Friday and this weekend in reaction to back-to-back police shootings caught on video this week, and also in reaction to Thursday night's Dallas attack at a protest against those police shootings.
