Tragedy in Dallas: Mexican-American police officer among victims of Dallas shooting

Patrick Zamarripa was one of the 500,000 Latinos living in Dallas, a city that has one of the largest Hispanic communities in the United States.
López and his family live in the suburbs in the south of the city, near that home where the Zamarripas are mourning over the slain Hispanic police officer.
He swapped the dust storms of Iraq for patrols on the skyscraper-lined streets of Dallas.
Zamarripa was on duty at a Black Lives Matter demonstration when a lone sniper opened fire, shooting 12 police officers, and killing five of them.
After speaking to his older sister and a few uncles – all reservists in the army, as so many young Hispanics have chosen to become in the last few years – he chose the navy.
