Pepper-spray use at protest concerns Dallas police chief

The police chief in Dallas said she is concerned to hear of reports that pepper-spray projectiles were used at a protest over the death of a black man who was fatally shot inside his apartment by a white off-duty officer.

The demonstration came a day after Dallas police officer Amber Guyger was arrested for manslaughter in the shooting death of her neighbor, 26-yearold Botham Jean. Authorities have said Guyger said she mistook Jean’s apartment for her own.

Protesters gathered outside Dallas police headquarters, and several dozen blocked traffic as they marched. News reports said police used the pepperspray projectiles at one point to help control the crowd.

Police Chief U. Renee Hall said she plans to meet with protest leaders to “address their concerns.” She said she has asked for a “full review.”
