During a press conference Friday morning, Dallas Police Chief David Brown provided an update on the investigation and asked for people to pray for them.

“We don’t feel much support most days,” Brown said. “Let’s not make today most days. Please, we need your support to protect you from men like these, who carried out this tragic, tragic event.”
