Micah Johnson, the man accused of killing five police officers in a gun attack during a protest rally in Dallas, acted alone, officials believe. The Dallas protest was against the killing of black men by police, and similar rallies drew thousands across many US cities on Friday. Bomb-making material, rifles and a combat journal were found at the home of Johnson, who was himself killed. Three other suspects were arrested after the shootings but no details have been released about them. In the Georgian state capital, Atlanta, on Friday evening, thousands marched in protest at the recent police shootings but although roads were blocked off the demonstration remained peaceful.
