The Guardian foregrounds the Dallas toll and police response, noting that 'No police officers were injured' and that the shootings 'occurred over a span of one hour and 15 minutes.' It centres police chief Daniel Comeaux, who said police are 'still trying to determine if the shootings in the Deep Ellum neighborhood were related,' and it widens the frame to other US shootings, including one 'just outside Legion Field in Birmingham, Alabama.'
