The concerning problem with these percentages below is that when you match it up to population percentages things show a different picture.
Blacks killed by whites: 7.6 percent.
Whites killed by whites: 82.4 percent.
Whites killed by blacks: 14.8 percent.
Blacks killed by blacks: 90 percent.
A large percent of the population is white so one would think they would have the largest percentages of all murders, but with blacks that only makeup 13% of the population they are responsible for 90% of all blacks killed and 15% of all whites killed. 82% of whites killed by whites fits within the demographics of their percentage within the whole population of the US, but I see a serious social issue when 13% of the population has such a large piece of the murder pie.
University of Toledo criminologist Dr. Richard R. Johnson examined the latest data from the FBI and Centers for Disease Control.
From 2003 through 2012, law-enforcement officers killed an average of 429 people per year in “legal interventions.” These include a relatively small number of innocent people killed by cops and many more who died due to reasonable use of force.
But the biggest problem black men face is that their black lives don’t matter to other black men.
On average, 4,472 black men were killed by other black men annually between Jan. 1, 2009, and Dec. 31, 2012, according to the FBI’s Supplementary Homicide Reports. Using FBI and CDC statistics, Professor Johnson calculates that 112 black men, on average, suffered both justified and unjustified police-involved deaths annually during this period.
This equals 2.5 percent of these 4,472 yearly deaths. For every black man — criminal or innocent — killed by a cop, 40 black men were murdered by other black men. The, at most, 2.5 percent of the problem generates relentless rage. And, yet, it is rude-to-racist to mention 97.5 percent of the problem.
The notion that America’s cops simply are gunning down innocent black people is one of today’s biggest and deadliest lies”.

The authorities have entered the home of the dead shooter, retrieving evidence. That's all I know right now.
It is a given that they will find material implicating him in the crime: militant literature, and probably more guns/ammo/receipts/etc.

Dallas Police Shooting Sniper Identified as Micah X. Johnson
a whole search page,
Micah X Johnson
Goods new for The News. Now they can set about turning him into a celebrity anti-hero to inspire more maniacs to try and become famous too by being copy-cats (just like with their school shootings reporting methods the past 20 years).
Here you go CNN just show this image all day now and make him famous:
“We have a pattern now of mass shootings in this country that has no parallel anywhere else in the world,” he said.
This tragic, uniquely American pattern has led to cycle in which each horrific event begets more violence.
These events don’t occur in a vacuum. While the “contagion” effect is well-documented in the case of suicides, it’s been studied less in the context of mass shootings. But as shootings become an ever more commonplace occurrence, more of us are wondering about the possibility of a ripple effect.
We’re starting to better understand the epidemiology behind this tragic trend. While the research is limited, a recent Arizona State University study found strong evidence that school shootings and other acts of mass violence are contagious.
...
Many, if not the majority, of mass shooters researched and were inspired by past shootings, particularly the 1999 Columbine High School shooting, Towers said.
