UPDATE XIII (KP): Police have updated the public for the last time until the morning. They are currently negotiating with a suspect who is not cooperating and is exchanging gun fire with officers. The remaining suspect has also stated there are bombs "all over a parking garage in which he is hiding. Despite earlier reports, Dallas Police Chief David Brown said they are not confident all suspects have been arrested or taken into custody for questioning. He also stated he believes there are at least four suspects involved, one of whom is a woman in custody. It is still unclear if suspects were part of the Black Lives Matter protest. 

"We still don't have a complete comfort level that we have all the suspects," Brown said Thursday night.
