Shadow of JFK assassination falls on ambush shooting of Dallas police


DALLAS (Reuters) - Echoes of the most infamous day in the history of Dallas rang out on Thursday night when a shooter gunned down police officers just blocks from where President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in 1963.

The JFK assassination turned Dallas into a pariah for years while one of the deadliest mass shootings of police in U.S. history has stunned the Texas city, a magnet for migration that ranks as one of the most populous metro areas in the United States.
