ARMY TOOK AWAY GUN FROM DALLAS COP SHOOTER

- — Tom Vanden Brook

A sergeant who supervised Micah Johnson, the man who killed five Dallas police officers in July, told the Army that his gun should be taken from him in 2014 because he posed a potential threat, according to an Army investigat­ion released Wednesday.

The report, finished in May 2014, was conducted after a female soldier complained that Johnson had sexually harassed her while they were stationed in Afghanista­n and that he had stolen her underwear.

Johnson killed five Dallas police officers July 7 as police provided security for a demonstrat­ion against police violence. Police used a robot armed with a bomb to kill Johnson.
