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.

Ok. We can make an exception. Bulldoze any home that’s providing aid and comfort.
Absolutely agree.
These attacks on the police are pretty sophisticated.
I find it hard to believe that some guys are sitting around getting angry and then walk out and kill policemen.
It takes money and support.
If Trump stays competitive in the polls Obama & co. are going to get more and more desperate. I’m not sure exactly what we are going to see, but it may be that there is no historical parallel for it in our country.
The reason is that Trump is a wild card with respect to prosecuting the crimes of the Obama administration.
From walking guns to the Sinaloa cartel (F&F) to using the IRS and other federal agencies to harass and intimidate political opposition to selling government favors to foreign bidders, this is personal and if the Rule of Law is re-introduced by Trump to the US government, lots of these people from the top down would be going to prison.
They had no fear that Jeb or the GOPe would prosecute these crimes. But Trump is a different matter entirely. This is to keep their own butts out of prison.
You know....someone out there has access to every speech made over the past 7.5 years. It would be great to splice this up and have 30 minute “I” speech for public consumption.
Effective in Israel but probably not a deterrent for these guys. The all “stay” with their grandma’s or baby’s mama, so doubtful they would care.
Ødungo is caught on the horns of a dilemma - he HAS to find a way to stir the pot but any call for gun control would mean disarming his homegrown domestic terrorists buddies.
Whatever will he do? LOL
obama to attend the funerals and blame the police like he did the last time!
Wouldn’t do any good. They all live in housing paid for by you and I.
And so it goes. Perhaps it is time for Negrooes who are American Citizens, i.e.rational and good people who live in the large cities to take up residence elsewhere. If the terrorists obtain their desired backlash it will be pretty hard on the ghettos.
If this President gets what he wants, yes.
We are in an open shooting civil war, with police as primary targets by the progressive nut jobs.
Deray McKesson, arrested in protests in Baton Rouge last week, leader of the Black Lives Matter, met with President Obaba in the White House on July 13. https://twitter.com/deray/status/753296550940389376 He has also met with the Attorney General and with several high ranking Administration staff. The Obama administration is orchestrating the BLM and War on Cops. President Obama himself is issuing inflammatory statements.
We are on our own in this situation.
Didn’t the vagrant in the WH just have a meeting with these animals?
I would think the backlash would be in favor of the law and order candidate.
A general stand down of policing in the black community or treat every young black male as a possible shooter and profile as such.
They’ve been spreading lies for pageviews for years now. Hope they think it was worth it.
Fox News guy on scene seemed to just say AL SHARPTON and JESSE JACKSON are on the way to Baton Rouge.
Oh, that’ll work.
