Police Provide Details of Shootout at El Centro
******************** started his rampage by pulling his SUV onto Lamar Street. The street was empty, cleared out in anticipation of the police protest march that was just concluding downtown. He parked his vehicle sideways in the street, grill facing El Centro's east entrance.
There, El Centro College Police Chief Joseph Hannigan said Tuesday, he started a conversation with three Dallas police officers. "He got out and, we believe, engaged three Dallas police officers in a short conversation, then pulled his rifle and shot them," Hannifin said.
When nearby officers returned fire, Johnson attempted to shoot his way into El Centro's entrance, shattering the college's Lamar Street-facing glass doors. El Centro police Cpl. Bryan Shaw and Officer John Abbott had been ordered inside the building by Hannigan in hopes that they wouldn't aggravate the protesters. From there, the pair returned fire and, for the time being, kept Johnson out of the building
