In addition to the five Dallas officers who were killed, seven officers and two civilians were wounded. In his email, Saunders urged officers "to take all necessary precautions" to protect their own safety. He did, however, tweet a message of condolence to the families of the Dallas officers. Gunmen opened fire on officers in Dallas during a protest over two recent fatal police shootings of black men in Louisiana and Minnesota. Saunders's email expressed his sympathies to the families of the officers who were killed and wounded in Thursday night's ambush-style attack.
