A top elected official in Dallas says it appears Thursday’s attack on a protest march was a “crime of opportunity.” Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins says authorities believe the gunman, Micah Johnson, had been practicing for a long time, learned of the protest and knew there would be a lot of police.

A Texas woman who was wounded when she threw herself over her son during the attack on a Dallas protest march said Sunday she’d go to another demonstration to show her boys that she’s not a quitter. Shetamia Taylor also thanked Dallas police for protecting her in the chaos.

Officers with rifles were blocking ramps to keep protesters off Interstate 10 in downtown Baton Rouge on Sunday, and about 130 people have been taken into custody as marches continue over shootings by police. Gov. John Bel Edwards said he’s “very proud” of the Louisiana law-enforcement response to protests over the fatal shooting of a black man by white police officers in the city.
