Castile was pulled over for a broken tail light in Minnesota and shot while his girlfriend and her 4-year-old daughter sat in the car, while Sterling was shot in Louisiana while pinned to the ground by officers outside a convenience store where he was selling CDs.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">In the East Bay, vigils, protests, healing centers and places of worship aimed to offer residents a place to process the events and heal. At Allen Temple, a church with a long history of supporting social justice movements, references to the Rev. Martin Luther King and abolitionists such as Harriet Tubman abounded during the morning service. Church leaders urged the congregation -- many in their 50s and older -- to support the Black Lives Matter movement, squarely rejecting opinions that the activists incited violence against police. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11017500\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11017500\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/07/RS20148_IMG_0203-qut.jpg\" alt=\"Reverend Dr. Jacqueline Thompson leads prayers at the Allen Temple Baptist Church for those killed during a string of shootings last week by and against police.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/07/RS20148_IMG_0203-qut.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/07/RS20148_IMG_0203-qut-400x267.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/07/RS20148_IMG_0203-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/07/RS20148_IMG_0203-qut-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/07/RS20148_IMG_0203-qut-960x640.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Rev.

Castile was pulled over for a broken tail light in Minnesota and shot while his girlfriend and her 4-year-old daughter sat in the car, while Sterling was shot in Louisiana while pinned to the ground by officers outside a convenience store where he was selling CDs.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">In the East Bay, vigils, protests, healing centers and places of worship aimed to offer residents a place to process the events and heal. At Allen Temple, a church with a long history of supporting social justice movements, references to the Rev. Martin Luther King and abolitionists such as Harriet Tubman abounded during the morning service. Church leaders urged the congregation -- many in their 50s and older -- to support the Black Lives Matter movement, squarely rejecting opinions that the activists incited violence against police. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11017500\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11017500\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/07/RS20148_IMG_0203-qut.jpg\" alt=\"Reverend Dr. Jacqueline Thompson leads prayers at the Allen Temple Baptist Church for those killed during a string of shootings last week by and against police.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/07/RS20148_IMG_0203-qut.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/07/RS20148_IMG_0203-qut-400x267.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/07/RS20148_IMG_0203-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/07/RS20148_IMG_0203-qut-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/07/RS20148_IMG_0203-qut-960x640.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Rev.

On Monday, Halloran called the panel a \"kangaroo court\" and compared the release of its report with the \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/07/07/dallas-police-officers-killed-in-reported-sniper-attack\" target=\"_blank\">killing of five police officers\u003c/a> in Dallas last week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"On Thursday, a sniper in Dallas took aim at police officers and murdered five in cold blood,” Halloran said in a written statement. “Today, George Gascón is taking aim at police officers in San Francisco with half-truths and distortions.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The panel's independence from Gascón -- and accusations that his criticism of the SFPD is driven by political ambitions -- was \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/01/29/s-f-district-attorney-calls-out-mayor-for-lip-service-on-police-reform\" target=\"_blank\">repeatedly questioned by the POA\u003c/a> and, to some degree, by the department. The panel's report says the sustained questions of legitimacy and written responses to scant public testimony offered by current SFPD officers had a chilling effect on its ability to interview more current officers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The San Francisco Police Department, for all practical purposes, is really run by the POA,\" said retired Superior Court Judge LaDoris Cordell who, along with retired U.S. District Judge Dickran Tevrizian and retired California Supreme Court Judge Cruz Reynoso constituted the panel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The POA leadership sets the tone for the Police Department, and historically, it’s been an ugly one,\" Cordell said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gascón appointed the panel, supported by attorneys from seven Bay Area law firms, several weeks after a batch of \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/tag/sfpd-text-messaging-scandal\" target=\"_blank\">racist, homophobic and otherwise bigoted text messages\u003c/a>, swapped among more than a dozen officers, came to light through a federal court filing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11017250\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11017250\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/07/Gascon-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"San Francisco District Attorney George Gascón.\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/07/Gascon-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/07/Gascon-400x267.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/07/Gascon.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/07/Gascon-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/07/Gascon-960x640.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">San Francisco District Attorney George Gascón. \u003ccite>(Justin Sullivan/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The lawyers' working groups examined seven different areas of SFPD activity: stops, searches and arrests; discipline; use of force; external oversight of the department; compliance with the legal responsibility to make prosecutors and defense attorneys aware of officer misconduct; crime data; and the culture of the SFPD.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The working groups' 72 findings and 81 recommendations form the bulk of the report.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It looks like it covers the breadth of issues that we’re interested in,\" Police Commissioner Victor Hwang said. \"It’s the kind of report that I wish we had the ability to generate on our own, if we had more staffing and perhaps a policy analyst working with us.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In its review of SFPD culture, the panel found \"the SFPD blurs the line between it and the POA. ... Because the department has consistently ceded the ground of discourse to the POA, theirs is the dominant law enforcement voice heard on [reforms].\"\u003cbr>\n[contextly_sidebar id=\"7toKMJE8WA8H3xjx3T8jkh3ifftCy4YO\"]\u003cbr>\nThe report adds that \"several witnesses stated that the SFPD and POA functioned like a 'good old boys' club,' making it difficult to impose discipline.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The 'code of silence' -- informal pressure for officers to 'fall in line' and not report observed misconduct -- makes it difficult to identify and respond to bias within the department,\" the report says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The panel found the Police Department's internal disciplinary process \"opaque\" and the rules governing it outdated. The report says discipline -- i.e., findings of misconduct -- are not rigorously tracked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The attorneys found the same lack of reliable data when it came to how often, and on whom, San Francisco police officers use force.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They collect data in a fashion where it would be nearly impossible for an outside observer, an auditor, to actually look at the data and see whether the SFPD is applying force more often, and more severely against people of color, gay people, LGBT people, and other groups,\" attorney Colin West said. \"There’s a saying that if you hide a flaw, people will assume the worst. This data couldn’t be collected in a manner better designed to hide flaws that might exist in the police culture when it comes to people of color and the application of uses of force.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The panel made 15 recommendations around improving use-of-force data collection, training and policies.

The district attorney recently told KQED that his office was not properly notified that an officer-involved shooting had occurred, and by the time a district attorney's investigator arrived on scene, Perez Lopez's body had been removed by the city's medical examiner. Gascón called the treatment of the crime scene a \"serious breach of protocol.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The panel report includes a memorandum of understanding drafted by Gascón's office that would make the district attorney's office the \"lead agency on the scene of any officer-involved shooting,\" according to the report.

On Monday, Halloran called the panel a \"kangaroo court\" and compared the release of its report with the \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/07/07/dallas-police-officers-killed-in-reported-sniper-attack\" target=\"_blank\">killing of five police officers\u003c/a> in Dallas last week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"On Thursday, a sniper in Dallas took aim at police officers and murdered five in cold blood,” Halloran said in a written statement. “Today, George Gascón is taking aim at police officers in San Francisco with half-truths and distortions.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The panel's independence from Gascón -- and accusations that his criticism of the SFPD is driven by political ambitions -- was \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/01/29/s-f-district-attorney-calls-out-mayor-for-lip-service-on-police-reform\" target=\"_blank\">repeatedly questioned by the POA\u003c/a> and, to some degree, by the department.

The report says discipline -- i.e., findings of misconduct -- are not rigorously tracked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The attorneys found the same lack of reliable data when it came to how often, and on whom, San Francisco police officers use force.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They collect data in a fashion where it would be nearly impossible for an outside observer, an auditor, to actually look at the data and see whether the SFPD is applying force more often, and more severely against people of color, gay people, LGBT people, and other groups,\" attorney Colin West said. \"There’s a saying that if you hide a flaw, people will assume the worst. This data couldn’t be collected in a manner better designed to hide flaws that might exist in the police culture when it comes to people of color and the application of uses of force.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The panel made 15 recommendations around improving use-of-force data collection, training and policies.

More than 200 Palestinians have been killed during the same period. Israel says most of the Palestinians who have died have been involved in attacks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among the plaintiffs in the lawsuit is the family of Taylor Force, a 28-year-old U.S. military veteran who was visiting Israel in March when he was stabbed to death by a Palestinian.

In all, 12 officers were shot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Johnson was a private first class from the Dallas suburb of Mesquite with a specialty in carpentry and masonry. He served in the Army Reserve for six years starting in 2009 and did one tour in Afghanistan from November 2013 to July 2014, the military said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the attack, he tried to take refuge in a parking garage and exchanged gunfire with police, Police Chief David Brown said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The suspect described his motive during negotiations and said he acted alone and was not affiliated with any groups, Brown said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown blamed “snipers” for Thursday’s attack, but it was unclear how many shooters were involved. Authorities initially said three suspects were in custody and the fourth dead. Hours later, officials were vague and would not discuss details.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Johnson was black. Law enforcement officials did not immediately disclose the race of the dead officers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bloodshed unfolded just a few blocks from where President John F. Kennedy was slain in 1963.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The shooting began Thursday evening while hundreds of people were gathered to protest the killings in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and suburban St. Paul, Minnesota. Brown told reporters that snipers fired “ambush-style” on the officers. Two civilians also were wounded.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Authorities said they were not sure they had located all possible suspects, but attention on Friday quickly turned to the man killed in the parking garage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A Texas law enforcement official identified him as Johnson. The official spoke on the condition of anonymity because he said he was not authorized to release the information.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Around midday, investigators were seen walking in and out of a home believed to be Johnson’s in Mesquite.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>None of the other suspects was identified, and the police chief said he would not disclose any details about them until authorities were sure everyone involved was in custody.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The nation’s top law enforcement official, Attorney General Loretta Lynch, called for calm, saying the recent violence can’t be allowed to “precipitate a new normal.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lynch said protesters concerned about killings by police should not be discouraged “by those who use your lawful actions as a cover for their heinous violence.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It appeared the shooters “planned to injure and kill as many officers as they could,” Brown said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Video from the scene showed protesters marching along a downtown street about half a mile from City Hall when shots erupted and the crowd scattered, seeking cover. Officers crouched beside vehicles, armored SWAT team vehicles arrived and a helicopter hovered overhead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Demonstrations were held in several other U.S. cities Thursday night to protest the police killings of two more black men: A Minnesota officer on Wednesday fatally shot Philando Castile while he was in a car with a woman and a child, and the shooting’s aftermath was livestreamed in a widely shared Facebook video. A day earlier, Alton Sterling was shot in Louisiana after being pinned to the pavement by two white officers. That, too, was captured on a cellphone video.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Dallas shootings occurred in an area of hotels, restaurants, businesses and some residential apartments only a few blocks from Dealey Plaza, the landmark made famous by the Kennedy assassination.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The scene was chaotic, with officers with automatic rifles on the street corners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Everyone just started running,” Devante Odom, 21, told the Dallas Morning News. “We lost touch with two of our friends just trying to get out of there.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Carlos Harris, who lives downtown, told the newspaper that the shooters “were strategic. It was tap, tap, pause. Tap, tap, pause,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Video posted on social media appeared to show a gunman at ground level exchanging fire with a police officer who was then felled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mayor Mike Rawlings said one of the wounded officers had a bullet go through his leg as three members of his squad were fatally shot around him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He felt that people don’t understand the danger of dealing with a protest,” said Rawlings, who spoke to the surviving officer. “And that’s what I learned from this. We care so much about people protesting, and I think it’s their rights. But how we handle it can do a lot of things. One of the things it can do is put our police officers in harm’s way, and we have to be very careful about doing that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Few details about the slain officers were immediately available.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Four of the dead were with the Dallas Police Department, a spokesman said. One was a Dallas Area Rapid Transit officer. The agency said in a statement that 43-year-old officer Brent Thompson, a newlywed whose bride also works for the police force, was the first officer killed in the line of duty since the agency formed a police department in 1989.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our hearts are broken,” the statement said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Theresa Williams said one of the wounded civilians was her sister, 37-year-old Shetamia Taylor, who was shot in the right calf. She threw herself over her four sons, ages 12 to 17, when the shooting began.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other protests across the U.S. on Thursday were peaceful, including in New York, Atlanta, Chicago and Philadelphia. In Minnesota, where Castile was shot, hundreds of protesters marched in the rain from a vigil to the governor’s official residence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>President Obama said America is “horrified” by the shootings, which have no possible justification. He called them “vicious, calculated and despicable.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Speaking from Warsaw, Poland, where he was meeting with leaders of the European Union and attending a NATO summit, the president asked all Americans to pray for the fallen officers and their families.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Associated Press writers Jamie Stengle, Paul Weber and Emily Schmall in Dallas; Amy Shafer, Sarah Rankin and Benjamin Dashley in Chicago; and Kathleen Hennessey in Warsaw, Poland, contributed to this report.\u003cbr>\n\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

Last updated 10:58 a.m. ET\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A sniper attack in Dallas killed five police officers Thursday, in a bout of violence that didn't end until a sniper who had fired on police died in a parking garage. Police say at least four people were involved in the attack and that they have three suspects in custody.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It remains unclear how many people might have been firing upon police. Friday morning, federal officials told NPR that the gunman who died in the parking garage was named Micah Xavier Johnson.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition to the five officers who were slain, seven were wounded in the shooting that began just before 9 p.m. local time, at the end of a downtown protest march that was held to condemn two police killings of black men in other cities earlier this week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two civilians were also wounded in the attack, Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings said Friday morning. He refused to give details about suspects in the case, citing the active investigation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Police believe the suspects took elevated positions in a parking garage so they could \"triangulate\" their attacks and inflict harm on as many officers as they could, at what had been a peaceful event.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There are no words to describe the atrocity that occurred to our city,\" Dallas Police Chief David Brown said Friday morning. \"All I know is that this must stop, this divisiveness between our police and our citizens.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here's what we know about the situation. We'll be updating this post as more news comes in:\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Suspects\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The gunman who was killed is Micah Xavier Johnson, two federal law enforcement officials briefed on the investigation tell NPR.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Police have three suspects, including one woman, in custody; another suspect died after an hours-long standoff with police at a parking garage at El Centro College in downtown Dallas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Police Chief David Brown said the suspect told negotiators \"the end was coming,\" that he's \"going to hurt and kill more\" law enforcement, and that there were bombs planted all over the garage and downtown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just before dawn Friday, police said their sweeps for explosives had turned up no such devices.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During negotiations with police, the suspect spoke about his motivations, \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2016/07/08/485220431/were-hurting-dallas-police-chief-david-brown-says\">Police Chief David Brown said\u003c/a> at a Friday morning news conference.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He was upset about Black Lives Matter,\" Brown said, adding that the man cited the recent killings of black people and said that he wanted to kill white people — particularly white police officers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The three suspects who are in custody have not been cooperative, Brown said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The men were picked up in a traffic stop, after someone saw them flee the scene in a Mercedes. The woman was taken into custody in a parking garage, where the fourth suspect was in a standoff with police.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another man whose picture had been circulated as a possible \"person of interest\" in the case turned himself in and was later released; Dallas police had posted a picture of the man in a camouflage T-shirt, carrying a long gun.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Timeline\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Hundreds had gathered for the Black Lives Matter rally and march, which was coming to a close just before 9 p.m. CT when the snipers' gunfire cut through the air.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They were targeting the police,\" NPR's Wade Goodwyn reports for \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/programs/morning-edition/\">Morning Edition\u003c/a>. \"They let the protesters pass by and started shooting the police.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Part of the gunbattle that ensued was captured on \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/michaelbautista86/videos/vb.100003576517454/899698650159344/?type=2&theater\">a Facebook live stream\u003c/a>. \u003cstrong>We'll warn you\u003c/strong> that it includes images and language some may find disturbing:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Police believe the shots came from an \"elevated position,\" targeting officers who had been helping secure the rally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Dozens of Dallas police cars arrived immediately\" after the first shots were fired,\" reports \u003ca href=\"http://keranews.org/post/gunmen-kill-5-officers-downtown-dallas-1-suspect-reported-dead?_ga=1.37631462.757829612.1467973370\">member station KERA\u003c/a>. \"Officers were out in force, wearing helmets, shields and holding assault weapons.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition to those officers, many of the police who were trapped at the scene were in their patrol and bike uniforms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For minutes afterward, gunfire echoed through the city's streets. Police said they believed two snipers were responsible for the gunfire. A gunman in a parking garage exchanged fire with police for 45 minutes, according to the \u003ca href=\"http://beta.dallasnews.com/news/news/2016/07/07/hundreds-expected-downtown-dallas-rally-following-shooting-deaths-alton-sterling-philando-castile\">Dallas Morning News\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A standoff then ensued, which ended when the suspect was killed just before 3 a.m. local time. Police Chief Brown says the department used a \"bomb robot\" to place a device \"where the suspect was\" and detonate it — a move that he said was made to prevent any further risk to police officers.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Victims\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\"Our profession is hurting. Dallas officers are hurting,\" Brown said Friday morning. \"We are heartbroken.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of those slain has been identified by Dallas Area Rapid Transit, or DART, as transit officer Brent Thompson, 43, who had joined the agency in 2009. He is the first officer killed in the line of duty in DART's history.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>DART also released the names of three injured officers who are expected to recover. They are Omar Cannon, 44, Misty McBride, 32, and Jesus Retana, 39.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most of the officers who were injured last night have now been released from medical care, Brown said, while some still need more treatment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Praising his city's police department, Mayor Rawlings said Dallas recently had the lowest rate of officer-involved shootings of any large American city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The five deaths make this the deadliest attack on American law enforcement since Sept. 11, 2001, which the \u003ca href=\"http://www.nleomf.org/facts/enforcement/deadliest.html\">National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund\u003c/a> calls \"the deadliest day in U.S. law enforcement history.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We're awaiting word of the identities of others who were killed or wounded in Thursday night's attack.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Witnesses\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Protester Wyatt Rosser, who was close to the front of last night's march, told \u003ca href=\"http://keranews.org/post/gunmen-kill-5-officers-downtown-dallas-1-suspect-reported-dead?_ga=1.37631462.757829612.1467973370\">member station KERA\u003c/a> about his experience:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The Black Lives Matter rally ... started out as what was, to me, the biggest and most inspiring rally I've been to in Dallas. The speakers were great and everything was peaceful and beautiful until the end of the march. ... There were really beautiful speakers, a lot of great things were said, and it felt really unifying and we were all standing in solidarity, and that happened, and everyone just scattered and we broke apart. That was probably the most intense and disheartening thing for me, how symbolic it was being linked in arms, feeling this really strong moment and then hearing gunshots, and then everything just fell apart.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>The Aftermath\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>In addition to the local and FBI investigation efforts, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives says it has some 30 personnel on the scene.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Our K9s and explosives enforcement officers are continuing to conduct explosives sweeps for the safety of the public,\" a spokesman in Dallas tells NPR's Carrie Johnson. \"This is the initial stage of what we expect to be a long investigation. We are not disclosing any firearms information at this time.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Police have \u003ca href=\"http://www.dallascitynews.net/dpd-shooting-update\">closed off around 15 blocks of downtown\u003c/a> as their investigators work Friday, and they're unsure when the area will be reopened.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A number of downtown office buildings are closed today. They include Dallas County administration buildings, courts and museums.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dallas is in mourning, reports NPR's Wade Goodwyn, who is based in the city:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"Last night was just devastating for the city of Dallas. You know, it's taken us 50 years to get over the charge that we are the city of hate, after the Kennedy assassination. And there were some strange similarities. This shooting happened about two blocks away from where the president was killed. Lee Harvey Oswald knew the parade route, and picked an elevated position from which to attack. Police now believe that these snipers knew the protest route — and they took an elevated position from which to attack.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>And in both cases, Wade says, the effects were devastating.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Responses\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>President Obama called it \"a vicious, calculated and despicable attack on law enforcement,\" in remarks delivered at the start of his trip to Warsaw, Poland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Saying that he had spoken with Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings, Obama said, \"I believe that I speak for every single American when I say that we are horrified over these events, and that we stand united with the people and the police department in Dallas.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Obama added that while the \"twisted motivations\" of the attackers will surely emerge, \"there is no possible justification for these kinds of attacks, or any violence against law enforcement.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He added that the FBI is in contact with Dallas police about the case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This is a rapidly developing story; we'll provide updates as they become available, including corrections should any of the above information prove to be incorrect.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2016 NPR.

Police now believe that these snipers knew the protest route — and they took an elevated position from which to attack.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>And in both cases, Wade says, the effects were devastating.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Responses\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>President Obama called it \"a vicious, calculated and despicable attack on law enforcement,\" in remarks delivered at the start of his trip to Warsaw, Poland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Saying that he had spoken with Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings, Obama said, \"I believe that I speak for every single American when I say that we are horrified over these events, and that we stand united with the people and the police department in Dallas.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Obama added that while the \"twisted motivations\" of the attackers will surely emerge, \"there is no possible justification for these kinds of attacks, or any violence against law enforcement.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He added that the FBI is in contact with Dallas police about the case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Her fiance, Marty, was shot last weekend, no, the weekend before. Tiera is exhausted and can’t quite remember the days. She’s “lost in the time,” she says.

She’s 27 and beautiful, but you see can the fatigue in her eyes. She tells her fiance’s mother she had a breakdown last night. After 11 days at the hospital, she cried and lost it, a little. She and Marty have been together 2½ years, but they got engaged the week before the shooting.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Marty was shot twice during a robbery, she says. He was carrying the rent money she had just given him, another thing to worry about, but she doesn’t have time for that right now. Not while he’s fighting for his life.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The last time he spoke to her was when he called from the ambulance. It was the last time he was conscious. He told her he loved her. She told him she loved him, too. She could hear the effort in his voice. And then he faded out. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">It’s not just her: She has her 3-year-old son to worry about, too. Her fiance, he’s the one her son calls his daddy.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“My son knows he’s in the hospital, and he knows Mommy’s going to take care of him.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 4.6875em;float: left;line-height: 0.733em;padding: 0.05em 0.1em 0 0;font-family: times, serif, georgia\">I\u003c/span>n the Bay Area there are 88 black men for every 100 black women, according to \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/lowdown/2016/07/06/why-black-women-significantly-outnumber-black-men-in-the-bay-area/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a KQED analysis\u003c/a>.

The reasons for those disparities include incarceration and premature death. There is no such disparity among whites.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">But in some Bay Area neighborhoods, the gap between the number of black men and women is much higher. One of those neighborhoods is in East Oakland, around the housing project known as \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2011/09/09/us/09bcoakland.html?_r=0\">Lockwood Gardens\u003c/a>, where there are 56 black men for every 100 women.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Tiera’s dad grew up in The Gardens. She grew up just across from it, in a housing project everyone knew as The Village. Both were notorious, famous for having armed guards on the roof, part of the empire of the late Oakland drug kingpin \u003ca href=\"http://www.biography.com/people/felix-mitchell-487984\">Felix Mitchell\u003c/a>. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Tiera was going to meet with me to talk about life in The Village and in The Gardens. But then her fiance was shot. So we are meeting at Highland Hospital.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">When Tiera was growing up, her father was in prison, doing what she calls “penitentiary time.” Her mother, she says, “was sick.

She’s around for her daughter. But it wasn’t always like that. When Tiera was little, her older brother, Terrence, was the most stable force in her life.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Tiera says that when her mom was using, she never left them “\u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">in like drug houses or anything like that.” “She would send us to Texas,” Tiera explains, or to Denver, to places where they had relatives who could take care of them.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“Sometimes she’d ride with us and sometimes she wouldn’t,” Tiera says.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">For three years, when Tiera was between the ages of 6 and 9 and Terrance was between the ages of 7 and 10, he would look after her as they traveled across the country on a Greyhound, by themselves, with the phone number of one of their aunts in their pockets and directions to call when they arrived.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“It was just me and Terrance for a long time,” she says.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Years later, Tiera was living with her mom in Texas when they got the phone call. Terrance, who had looked after her when no one else did, was dead.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">He was killed in an altercation with Oakland police. It was 2003. Tiera was 15. The city later \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/OAKLAND-Family-of-man-slain-by-police-settles-2718618.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">paid $50,000\u003c/a> to settle the family’s civil rights lawsuit. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“My brother like, I’m 27 — they killed him at 20. I feel like I haven’t lived, not a lot — just a little bit of life. And at 20, I thought he was doing a lot, and I seen him living, but really he wasn’t living,” she sighs. “He didn’t get to do anything.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">After her brother died, Tiera came back to Oakland. She went to McClymonds High School. She fell in love. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">His name was Damien. He was older, a protector like her brother had been. “He made sure I stayed going to school, he made sure I stayed going to work,” Tiera explains.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">They were together six years.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“\u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">In 2008, he was killed.” She stops for a moment looking down at her hands. She has never stopped loving him. “It’s still hard to live with that.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Her breath catches. “It’s like I’m living it again,” she says.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">But she knows this isn’t the same. Her fiance, Marty, is still alive. Damien is dead.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Both Damien and Marty were shot in East Oakland. As Tiera talks, she realizes they were shot on the same street — Damian on the lower part of 76th Avenue, and her fiance further up, closer to the hills.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“I just thought about that as I’m talking to you.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the world of East Oakland, 76th Avenue isn’t much different from other streets. Single-family homes lined up next to each other in small square plots, some of them are the worse for wear, boarded up or crumbling. Some of them with small gates in front, a garden, a cared-for yard.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Tiera says neither Damien nor her fiance were involved in anything that would make them a target. Yet they were shot.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“Avoid the streets,” she says, shaking her head and sighing.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 4.6875em;float: left;line-height: 0.733em;padding: 0.05em 0.1em 0 0;font-family: times, serif, georgia\">A\u003c/span> few years after Damien died, Tiera became pregnant. The father is still a part of their son’s life, but they were never really a couple.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Tiera didn’t go through her pregnancy alone. She had her best friend, Robert Dell.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Tiera met Robert at a local youth center, \u003ca href=\"http://www.youthuprising.org/\">Youth Uprising\u003c/a>, where they both worked. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Tiera says Robert saw her as she was — sad and angry, but with a kind heart.

He went to Lamaze classes with her so she wouldn’t be alone.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Three years ago, she was on her way to a doctor’s appointment, in the final month of her pregnancy, when she passed 72\u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">nd\u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Avenue.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">She noticed it was blocked off with police caution tape. She knew Robert lived on that street, but she didn’t think much of it. He was a youth mentor, one of the ones helping other kids get off the streets. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">She learned he was dead while she sat in the waiting room at the OB-GYN’s office.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">She was 24 and had already had lost her brother, her first love, and now, her best friend.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 4.6875em;float: left;line-height: 0.733em;padding: 0.05em 0.1em 0 0;font-family: times, serif, georgia\">H\u003c/span>er son is named for all three: LaVelle Neimad Terrance Clark. LaVelle was Robert’s middle name. Neimad is Damien spelled backward. And Terrance, for her brother.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“\u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">His personality is like a little bit of all three of them — it’s so wild,” she laughs softly. Talking about her son is just about the only time she smiles right now. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“They live on in him,” she says.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Perhaps the person her son has helped to live on the most is Tiera herself.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“He took a lot of anger away from me. I used to be so angry, and I used to be so mean, I didn’t care about people’s feelings, I was just so sad like all the time, I just didn’t care.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">He’s the source of healing and the source of her not inconsiderable strength.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I have to be strong for him, and I have to be here for him. I cannot let him end up as a statistic. It’s not gonna happen. I have to just keep fighting for him, so he can see, ‘Mommy went through some things, Mommy’s strong,’ ” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Prayer has helped, although Tiera acknowledges that God has “been throwing battles at me, he throws ‘em.” But she hasn’t lost her faith. “They say, ‘He won’t put too much on you that you cannot bear.’ You just gotta keep on getting through them.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Tiera doesn’t think the losses she has suffered set her apart. She knows too many women, including her mother, who have had to bury the men they loved.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“Look at all the men – that’s a lot of men, that we lost, that I just lost.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">If she blames anyone, sometimes she blames herself. “It’s kinda like, ‘What am I doing wrong? I’m at the age – I need to get my men up out of here.’ But it’s like,” she pauses as she considers leaving Oakland, “it’s home.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Her fiance, Marty, is home now, getting stronger every day. They are talking about moving to Modesto after they get married. Tiera just wants to be somewhere they will be safe. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Tiera doesn’t want to give up on her city.

She tells her fiance’s mother she had a breakdown last night. After 11 days at the hospital, she cried and lost it, a little. She and Marty have been together 2½ years, but they got engaged the week before the shooting.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Marty was shot twice during a robbery, she says. He was carrying the rent money she had just given him, another thing to worry about, but she doesn’t have time for that right now. Not while he’s fighting for his life.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The last time he spoke to her was when he called from the ambulance. It was the last time he was conscious. He told her he loved her. She told him she loved him, too. She could hear the effort in his voice. And then he faded out. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">It’s not just her: She has her 3-year-old son to worry about, too. Her fiance, he’s the one her son calls his daddy.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“My son knows he’s in the hospital, and he knows Mommy’s going to take care of him.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 4.6875em;float: left;line-height: 0.733em;padding: 0.05em 0.1em 0 0;font-family: times, serif, georgia\">I\u003c/span>n the Bay Area there are 88 black men for every 100 black women, according to \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/lowdown/2016/07/06/why-black-women-significantly-outnumber-black-men-in-the-bay-area/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a KQED analysis\u003c/a>. Nationwide, there are \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2015/04/20/upshot/missing-black-men.html\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">83 black men for every 100 black women\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">. The reasons for those disparities include incarceration and premature death. There is no such disparity among whites.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">But in some Bay Area neighborhoods, the gap between the number of black men and women is much higher. One of those neighborhoods is in East Oakland, around the housing project known as \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2011/09/09/us/09bcoakland.html?_r=0\">Lockwood Gardens\u003c/a>, where there are 56 black men for every 100 women.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Tiera’s dad grew up in The Gardens. She grew up just across from it, in a housing project everyone knew as The Village. Both were notorious, famous for having armed guards on the roof, part of the empire of the late Oakland drug kingpin \u003ca href=\"http://www.biography.com/people/felix-mitchell-487984\">Felix Mitchell\u003c/a>. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Tiera was going to meet with me to talk about life in The Village and in The Gardens. But then her fiance was shot. So we are meeting at Highland Hospital.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">When Tiera was growing up, her father was in prison, doing what she calls “penitentiary time.” Her mother, she says, “was sick. She had an illness, which was a drug.” \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11012431\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 720px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11012431\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/07/Tierawithherparents.jpg\" alt=\"Tiera McGill with her parents in East Oakland. \" width=\"720\" height=\"960\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/07/Tierawithherparents.jpg 720w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/07/Tierawithherparents-400x533.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Tiera McGill with her parents in East Oakland. \u003ccite>(Photo: Tiera McGill )\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Her mom is clean now. She’s around for her daughter. But it wasn’t always like that. When Tiera was little, her older brother, Terrence, was the most stable force in her life.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Tiera says that when her mom was using, she never left them “\u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">in like drug houses or anything like that.” “She would send us to Texas,” Tiera explains, or to Denver, to places where they had relatives who could take care of them.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“Sometimes she’d ride with us and sometimes she wouldn’t,” Tiera says.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">For three years, when Tiera was between the ages of 6 and 9 and Terrance was between the ages of 7 and 10, he would look after her as they traveled across the country on a Greyhound, by themselves, with the phone number of one of their aunts in their pockets and directions to call when they arrived.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“It was just me and Terrance for a long time,” she says.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Years later, Tiera was living with her mom in Texas when they got the phone call. Terrance, who had looked after her when no one else did, was dead.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">He was killed in an altercation with Oakland police. It was 2003. Tiera was 15. The city later \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/OAKLAND-Family-of-man-slain-by-police-settles-2718618.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">paid $50,000\u003c/a> to settle the family’s civil rights lawsuit. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“My brother like, I’m 27 — they killed him at 20. I feel like I haven’t lived, not a lot — just a little bit of life. And at 20, I thought he was doing a lot, and I seen him living, but really he wasn’t living,” she sighs. “He didn’t get to do anything.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">After her brother died, Tiera came back to Oakland. She went to McClymonds High School. She fell in love. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">His name was Damien. He was older, a protector like her brother had been. “He made sure I stayed going to school, he made sure I stayed going to work,” Tiera explains.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">They were together six years.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“\u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">In 2008, he was killed.” She stops for a moment looking down at her hands. She has never stopped loving him. “It’s still hard to live with that.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Her breath catches. “It’s like I’m living it again,” she says.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">But she knows this isn’t the same. Her fiance, Marty, is still alive. Damien is dead.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Both Damien and Marty were shot in East Oakland. As Tiera talks, she realizes they were shot on the same street — Damian on the lower part of 76th Avenue, and her fiance further up, closer to the hills.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“I just thought about that as I’m talking to you.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the world of East Oakland, 76th Avenue isn’t much different from other streets. Single-family homes lined up next to each other in small square plots, some of them are the worse for wear, boarded up or crumbling. Some of them with small gates in front, a garden, a cared-for yard.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Tiera says neither Damien nor her fiance were involved in anything that would make them a target. Yet they were shot.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“Avoid the streets,” she says, shaking her head and sighing.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 4.6875em;float: left;line-height: 0.733em;padding: 0.05em 0.1em 0 0;font-family: times, serif, georgia\">A\u003c/span> few years after Damien died, Tiera became pregnant. The father is still a part of their son’s life, but they were never really a couple.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Tiera didn’t go through her pregnancy alone. She had her best friend, Robert Dell.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Tiera met Robert at a local youth center, \u003ca href=\"http://www.youthuprising.org/\">Youth Uprising\u003c/a>, where they both worked. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Tiera says Robert saw her as she was — sad and angry, but with a kind heart. She trusted him. She let him in. He went to Lamaze classes with her so she wouldn’t be alone.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Three years ago, she was on her way to a doctor’s appointment, in the final month of her pregnancy, when she passed 72\u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">nd\u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Avenue.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">She noticed it was blocked off with police caution tape. She knew Robert lived on that street, but she didn’t think much of it. He was a youth mentor, one of the ones helping other kids get off the streets. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">She learned he was dead while she sat in the waiting room at the OB-GYN’s office.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">She was 24 and had already had lost her brother, her first love, and now, her best friend.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 4.6875em;float: left;line-height: 0.733em;padding: 0.05em 0.1em 0 0;font-family: times, serif, georgia\">H\u003c/span>er son is named for all three: LaVelle Neimad Terrance Clark. LaVelle was Robert’s middle name. Neimad is Damien spelled backward. And Terrance, for her brother.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“\u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">His personality is like a little bit of all three of them — it’s so wild,” she laughs softly. Talking about her son is just about the only time she smiles right now. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“They live on in him,” she says.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Perhaps the person her son has helped to live on the most is Tiera herself.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“He took a lot of anger away from me. I used to be so angry, and I used to be so mean, I didn’t care about people’s feelings, I was just so sad like all the time, I just didn’t care.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">He’s the source of healing and the source of her not inconsiderable strength.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I have to be strong for him, and I have to be here for him. I cannot let him end up as a statistic. It’s not gonna happen.
