The names of the five cops who were killed - Brent Thompson, Patrick Zamarripa, Michael Krol, Michael Smith and Lorne Ahrens - are displayed in a video she made on Instagram, alternating with a black and white image of the Texas state flag.

She also offered prayers for those recovering from their injuries.
