Gunman kills three police officers in Louisiana; Obama condemns attack
BATON ROUGE, La. (Reuters) - A gunman killed three police officers and wounded three others in Louisiana's capital on Sunday, just days after the fatal shooting of a black man there sparked nationwide protests, one of which led to the massacre of five Dallas policemen.
The officers in Baton Rouge were responding to a call of a man carrying a gun when shots were fired at around 9 a.m. local time (10.00 a.m. ET). Two Baton Rouge police officers and one sheriff's deputy were killed.
The gunman was killed in a shootout with police a short time after he opened fire on the first group of officers, Colonel Mike Edmonson, superintendent of the Louisiana State Police, said in a press conference. The suspect was believed to have acted alone.
