The gunfire broke out around 8:45 pm. Thursday while hundreds of people were gathered to protest fatal police shootings this week in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and suburban St Paul, Minnesota.
The statement said three officers are deceased, two are in surgery and three are in critical condition.
"An intensive search" for suspects is currently underway, it said. No one is in custody.
Live TV video showed protesters marching along a street in downtown, about half a mile from City Hall, when the shots erupted and the crowd scattered, seeking cover.
Scores of police and security officers were on hand. Police and others hunched behind cars outside a parking garage. Officers with guns drawn were running near and into the parking garage as police searched for the shooter.
TV cameras showed the search for the gunman stretched throughout downtown, an area of hotels, restaurants, businesses and some residential apartments. The scene was chaotic, with helicopters hovering overhead and officers with automatic rifles on the street corners.
Several hundred people attended the Dallas rally, which ended just before the shots rang out around 9 pm (0200 GMT Friday), reports said.
Witnesses reported hearing dozens of gunshots that sounded like semi-automatic rifle fire. "The shots were coming from the roof," a protester told KTVT television.
Video posted on the internet showed protesters marching when the shots rang out, scattering the crowd.
It was unclear whether any protesters had been hit.
Police warned protesters to flee the area, saying the scene remained an active-shooter situation.
SWAT teams were deployed to the scene, reports said.
