Shots were reported fired in downtown Dallas on Thursday night during a protest over shootings by police of black men in Louisiana and Minnesota, CNN affiliate KTVT said.
Two Dallas officers were shot, KTVT reported. CNN could not immediately confirm that information.
The shooting happened as protests were underway about two blocks from Dealey Plaza.
Video showed the crowd suddenly sprinting away. Clarissa Myles said she eating at McDonalds when the chaos began.
"Everyone was screaming, people were running," she said. "I saw at least probably 30 shots go off."
"I was walking next to the officer who was helping with the protest, all of a sudden I saw six to eight shots," one witness told the station. "It looked like two officers went down."
Another witness who was at the protest told the station he heard multiple gunshots.
"Whoever was shooting had an assault rifle — and I know guns. The shots were in rapid succession," the witness said.

Dallas' @FOX4 is now reporting “between 3-6 officers down.” One suspect is down, another still actively shooting.
