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.

The shooting took place around 9 a.m. (10 a.m. ET).
One of the suspects is dead. Authorities believes two others may be at large.
Since the shooting death of Alton Sterling by Baton Rouge police earlier this month, the department has worried about credible threats against officers.
It’s been an emotionally charged few days across the country because of the protests stemming from the Alton Sterling shooting, and the ambush on Dallas police officers where a sniper killed five officers.
No motive. Right. Gee, I wonder what it could be? /s
#obamasresponsible #BLMterrorists
obama needs to go now, one way or another
Civil War brewing!
Dammit. Prayers for the officers. As for the perps, get ‘em!
This is part of an on-going coordinated effort by the Obama administration and its masters to bring about conditions wherein they can impose martial law and enslave us all.
Not kidding.
The Enemedia is also responsible for ratcheting up racial and political tension, bringing about the carnage they so desperately WANT.
Lyin’ king will be commenting in how many minutes about how these high powered military weapons should not be on the street and demanding congress take action. Maybe more citizens need to arm up the help protect the cops. Or is that what “they” want to further escalate the violence.
Did anyone notice the skin color of the Negro perp?
More Black Lives Matter blood.
Obama to the mics in 3..2..1 to ask for a ban on guns.
AGAIN!
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.
Back in Nixon’s day, these kinds of police killings would result in a backlash for the law and order candidate.
Obama and the radical Left are betting that demographic change and the decades of ideological indoctrination in schools and universities will have a different result this time.
Their plan is for Obama, the DOJ and the MSM from the top and the BLM, Panthers, street thugs, etc from the bottom to position the election of Hillary as the “only hope” for reconciliation and to stop the violence and that electing the ‘racist’ Trump will only cause the violence to get worse.
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.
Will the President be attending the memorial service in seven days? At the present rate, he can fill in forty-odd days for the remainder of 2016.
wow... a real mystery.
And THIS is why the other Minneapolis scumbag wrote “BR” in blood as he was dying.
They are CONNECTED, 100%.
This is an INSURGENCY.
“Authorities remain baffled whill tring to find their asses with both hands and a flashlight...”
