DALLAS (AP) – A community college in Dallas says two of its officers were injured in the deadly attack on police during a protest downtown.
El Centro College said in a statement posted on its website Sunday night that Cpl. Bryan Shaw and Officer John Abbott were hurt in Thursday’s attack.
The statement says Shaw was struck by a bullet as he guarded an entrance to the college. The school says Shaw was treated on scene and returned to protect other officers and civilians.
Abbott was also guarding the entrance. The school says he sustained injuries to both legs from flying glass after it was struck by bullets. The statement says Abbott tended to his wounds at the scene and then returned to assist others.
Both men were resting at home.
Dallas police previously said five officers were killed and seven officers and two civilians were hurt in the attack. Its number of wounded did not include any El Centro College officers.
