Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump cancel campaign events after Dallas shooting

Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump each cancelled campaign events on Friday morning after a night of mayhem in Dallas,Texas, that resulted in the deaths of five police officers.

Three suspects have been apprehended, a fourth was killed in the stand-off with law enforcement. In addition to the five police officers who died in the ambush, snipers wounded six others. The officers were working a Black Lives Matter protest when they were brutally gunned down.

One suspect told police the attack was in retaliation for the deaths of two black men - Philando Castile of Minnesota and Alton Sterling of Louisiana earlier in the week at the hands of police.

Clinton was scheduled to campaign alongside Vice President Joe Biden today in his childhood stomping grounds of Scranton, Pennsylvania.

A Trump campaign aide told DailyMail.com that the billionaire will remain in New York City and postpone a policy speech.

A member of the billionaire's advance team in Miami confirmed the change of plan.

The Trump campaign said afterward in a release that it had cancelled the event 'due to the tragic events in Dallas last night.'
