Fatal shooting of police officers at Texas rally streamed live on Facebook - CNET

A shooting that wounded two police officers during a rally Thursday night in downtown Dallas was live-streamed on Facebook, the latest use of the video-sharing feature amid increased violence involving law enforcement.

The video, streamed by Michael Kevin Bautista, shows police officers crouched behind department cruisers as shots rang out at a demonstration in response to recent deadly police shootings across the country. The video shows what appears to be at least two officers lying on the street beside the vehicles.

"Holy shit. Holy shit," Bautista says into his phone as he films what appears to be an exchange of gunfire between officers and a gunman. " They're shooting right now, and there's an officer down. They're moving in on somebody. I think they might have got somebody."

During the video, Bautista describes his location downtown and what he is seeing, while reassuring those watching on Facebook that he is alright. He is eventually instructed to leave his position, which he said was behind a tree.
