(CNN) — LATEST UPDATE

-- One suspect is dead, and two others may be at large in the Baton Rouge shooting, the East Baton Rouge sheriff's office said.

-- Six law enforcement officers were shot -- three are dead and three others are injured, Baton Rouge Police Department spokesman Sgt. Don Coppola told CNN.

-- No motive has been identified at this time.

FULL STORY

Three officers were killed and three others wounded in a shooting in Baton Rouge that officials think were carried out by multiple gunmen.

Police received a call of "suspicious person walking down Airline Highway with an assault rifle," a source with knowledge of the investigation told CNN. When police arrived, the shooting began.

Three officers died; the other were hospitalized in critical condition, a source told CNN.

The victims were from Baton Rouge Police Department as well as East Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff's Office, another official said.

"This is an unspeakable and unjustified attack on all of us at a time when we need unity and healing," Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards said.

"no motive has been identified at this time"

Here's my theory: the motive was to kill police officers.

George Soros.

The leader of BLM lives in the mansion of one of the board members of Soros’ Open Society. Soros is expecting to profit from the destruction of the USA as we know it. This fits his pattern. Trump should freeze his assets and deport him and his family.

This is on Obama and Jarrett and it should be shouted out loud. BLM Leaders have been a regular at the White House. Head of BLM put up in posh digs with Soros connections.

Their strategy would not have a prayer of working in the America of Nixon’s day, but it is an open question in the America of 2016.

Sadly, you are correct.

Is the story intentionally vague? Even the tv coverage is vague. Was there a protest or something going on in Baton Roughe that had a large police presence on foot out of their vehicles? Was the gunman they mention with an assault rifle just walking down the street waiting for police to appear so his/her accomplices would start shooting at police on scene? Did the gunman that was walking start shooting on police once they arrived or did he confront them verbally? No info at all.

At this point, I’ve decided that we should adopt what Israeli Forces do to the houses of terrorists after they are neutralized: BULLDOZE THE HOME OF THE ATTACKER.

My favorite part about the Obama era is all the racial healing.

Police received a call of "suspicious person walking down Airline Highway with an assault rifle,"

Any news whether that was a legitimate call from a concerned citizen, or a call to set the police up for an ambush?

“Civil War brewing!”

OBVIOUSLY the only answer to this is take away all the guns, and make all Police Departments FEDERAL EMPLOYESS who are answerable only to the Democrat Party, and the Billionaires that own it!!

The group behind this is labeled a terrorist group by one of the permanent UN Security Council members. This should classify them as terrorists by all civilized countries, and they need to be treated as war criminals.

Lots of empty beds at GITMO, time to fill them up.


Let's start with that Kenyan shitbag at the top, along with his transexual wookie 'wife', his Iranian puppetmaster Val 'JarJar Stinks', I'm sure my fellow FReepers can come up with other excellent suggestions.

I thought the same thing. But most of these shooters just stay places. They do not own their own homes. Heck, even one of the thug leaders of BLM lives rent free in a home owned by George Soros supporters
