Nothing’s sacred for people accused of stealing property. Not even a church. Since 2019, WFAA’s “Dirty Deeds” investigation has exposed thieves stealing not only a church, but dozens of homes, a former restaurant – even a former Sam’s Club building.

It's jarring how comparatively little attention is being given to the fact that the last president was *impeached* specifically for trying to extort Ukraine and playing footsie with Russia and he's gonna run again in 2 years

Today I met with a high-ranking source who told me the agency he'd worked for viewed me as Enemy #1 because: “This bitch is figuring some shit out."

Honestly that's the nicest thing they've ever said about me. Like, put that shit on my tombstone. 💀

@cvcogbill @wfaa @tanyaeiserer Thanks for the kind words. And we wish your son continued safe shifts.

[WFAA Investigates @wfaaiteam]

We at @wfaa Investigates are proud to bring you a special story tonight that's been years in the making. @tanyaeiserer's account of the 7/7/16 police ambush features exclusive never-before-seen video depicting the heroism and sacrifice from that horrible day. Thanks for watching.

[Ed Werder @WerderEdNFL]

Incredible demonstration of journalism at its finest by @wfaa and @tanyaeiserer that reveals the selfless bravery of Dallas Police Department officers and other first responders on a night citizens here will never forget.

[Tanya Eiserer @tanyaeiserer]

I have received so many messages of thanks and praise for our piece that ran tonight on the 2016 Dallas ambush. It has been a bit overwhelming. Investigative producer @jptrahan and photojournalist Chris Paxton were my partners in this journey.

[Tanya Eiserer @tanyaeiserer]

I am exhausted but proud of the work we did last night on the Dallas ambush. When I was a newspaper reporter, we would have called it a tick tock -- a story takes the viewer along as the situation unfolds.

Wow. @tanyaeiserer @rlopezwfaa. I felt your hearts in tonight’s 7/7 special.

If you missed the 30-minute piece, it’s worth watching.

They spoke to survivors, & for the first time — body/dash cam videos show the heroes’ perspective.

Never forget. @wfaa https://t.co/72n4d0NiLi
