Lynch’s full statement is posted below:

Last night, at least five police officers were shot and killed, and several more were injured—along with two civilians—as they sought to protect a peaceful protest in Dallas, Texas. Our thoughts and condolences go out to the families who have lost loved ones. The Department of Justice—including the FBI, ATF, U.S. Marshals Service and U.S. Attorney’s Office—is working closely with our state and local counterparts, and we intend to provide any assistance we can to investigate this attack, and to heal a community that has been severely shaken and deeply scarred by an unfathomable tragedy. This is an unfolding situation and we will provide additional information when it is available and appropriate.
