An ex-Marine turned self-touted life coach who ranted about government conspiracies in Youtube videos and shared extremist beliefs on social media has been identified as the gunman who killed three police officers and wounded three others in Baton Rouge.
Gavin Eugene Long opened fire on officers Sunday morning in Louisiana on his 29th birthday, just days after posting videos online saying people needed to “fight back” after recent killings of black men by police in Minnesota and Baton Rouge, police sources told multiple news outlets, NBC News.
Long, originally from Kansas City, Missouri, was shot dead at the scene of the shooting, CBS News reports.
He used the name Cosmo Setepenra online and as his pen name for his self-published books. He discussed the Dallas attack on police officers and recent police shootings of black men in social media posts.

Yet he lived a fairly luxurious lifestyle. He also had money to self-publish books, travel extensively and purchase expensive guns.
His ambush was meticulously planned according to the police chief. It probably required help and local information about Baton Rouge.
He appears to have been in Dallas around the time of the police shootings.
He spent a lot of time on the internet promoting his hatred of white people and police officers and calling for attacks on the police.
Where did he get the money for all this? Who was funding him and directing him?
“He had no job and no source of income. Yet he lived a fairly luxurious lifestyle.”

I’m betting he was one of the “other shooters” in Dallas. We will never be told the truth.
Did you see this, too? A Dallas reporter in the audience at the news conference in Baton Rouge yesterday, asked if there was confirmation of reports that Long was in Dallas last week. As I remember, the reporter stated that there were reports of him in Dallas selling his books on the street.
Another question...what RACE is he? You would never know by reading or listening to the media. They have ALL been dead silent that this was a BLACK TERRORIST.
