Update: CNN is reporting
Three officers are feared dead after a shooting in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, officials said.
Kip Holden, the mayor-president of East Baton Rouge Parish, said authorities were still trying to get a handle on the situation, but added, “The count is three officers dead possibly.”
The victims may include police officers and sheriff’s deputies.
“There is still an active scene. They are investigating,” he said. “Right now we are trying to get our arms around everything.”

As we detailed earlier, police have closed streets between Baton Rouge Police Headquarters and I-12 where at least three law enforcement officers have been shot. According to local media WBRZ, shots were fired around 9 a.m. Sunday morning kicking off a manhunt for the shooter or shooters. There is an active shooter situation in the area of Airline and Old Hammond Highways according to The Advocate. A police spokesperson was not ready to release specifics as of yet.
Obviously, police-community relations in Baton Rouge have been especially tense since the killing of 37-year-old Alton Sterling, a black man killed by white officers earlier this month after a scuffle at a convenience store.
A witness told WBRZ News 2, a man was dressed in black with his face covered shooting indiscriminately when he walked out between a convenience store and car wash across from Hammond Air Plaza.
“The scene seems to be contained right now,” said Sgt. Don Coppola, Baton Rouge Police Department. “We’re asking everyone to stay out of the area.”

No perp yet? I’m pretty sure it’s a white person, a Republican, clinging to his gun and religion.
No response from the HNIC? I’m pretty sure he will be “outraged” at this “horrific act of violence”, and that his “thoughts and prayers” will be with the great people of Baton Rouge and the police “heroes”, and that we need to focus now on “healing”, and that clearly GUNS are at fault … and not some deranged nigger who could be his son.
THERE!! I just saved all of you hours and hours of watching teevee.
I can’t wait to see the latest “memorial” of flowers, balloons, and teddy bears.
Tomorrow the real fireworks might begin in Cleveland.
Blacks are going to get exactly what they want: cops leaving them alone. Except “leaving them alone” will mean avoiding their neighborhoods altogether and showing up well after the crime to write a report. The age of preventative policing is over and homicides in black areas are going to skyrocket. It’s already happening in places like Baltimore. How many wives must be telling their husbands it isn’t worth losing your life for a low life? How many mothers are going to encourage their sons to find another line of work? You got what you wanted, black America, and the blowback is going to be a bitch.

Apparently this latest shooting took place at a gas station … far from the town’s nigger section? How do you prepare/fight that?
I am no copfuk lover. But, this is getting beyond ridicules … randomly killing men … who are someone’s son or someone’s dad …… wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, and evil.
I agree with your overall premise. Nigger sections of towns all across America should simply become No-Go zones. Let the fuckers commit genocide on themselves.
Hey Stucky, I resent you using the Nigger word. I have a ‘person of color’ – hanging in my family tree.
I’d give’em all guns – turn those ghetto’s into shooting galleries.
A lynching?
Before the PC police took over , Nigger meant a dirty , lowdown person . Ya I am that old
It was in the dictionary .
Resent the word nigger? Are you shitting me ?
Person of color ? WTF does that mean ?
White is a color. Black is a color . So on and so on .
Keep allowing the PC narrative to define who or what you are ,or who or what others are.
Lol .
Although , you have done well with your indoctrination .
Just a cook lol be well sarc off or sarc on shit I cant keep this shit straight lol

Technically black is not a color, it is void of color in the world of art it is considered void. Fitting for low intels who are too dumb to see the bus coming that will hit them very hard.
I resent Stucks sarcasm. J. Jackson will come out soon claiming that the cops were killed in self defense when they were out to kill another innocent Rhodes Scholar and dedicated father.
We just had a holiday based on shooting at the “authorities”. What changed?
Buy ammo.
Even if you don’t have guns.
Before those background check for purchase proposals actually get made law.
If nothing else, you can resupply others (and at many of our age that’s the only realistic thing that we will be able to do).
Today being Sunday, there is an old Sunday school lesson here:
“What you sow, so shall you reap”.
Or in modern parlance;
What goes around – comes around.
Give them their own police districts like their school districts and let them run their own police and justice system; pretty soon they will be wearing black robes, burning crosses and hanging the bastards from oak trees.
Gee, the end game is now in Obama’s sight. Chaos by the bushel full all over America especially when the rising thermometer has people in a discomfort zone. Watch Cleveland with it’s convention this coming week and Philadelphia the following week. What could possibly go wrong?
I think black people are seeking segregation. LOL
This is what they have bitched about for 70 years, what they marched and protested to abolish. I’m really good with that if indeed they want it. 🙂
Congress should make it illegal to shoot at police. That works every time.
They just released the name of the dead suspect — 19 year old black guy.

Also word out there (traditional media is beginning to confirm reports) that Cleveland police have been told to stand down in clashes between Republican and Democrat protesters in Cleveland during the RNC convention next week. Could be bloody.
That autoplayin embed keeps me form staying on the page long enough to read anything. Bandwidth costs me per gigabyte.
How soon will the story change to a single shooter/no conspiracy? Now that the FBI is on scene, it won’t be long for that to happen. Seems lately the federales are adverse to any hint or talk of pre-planned multi-shooter incidents.
Summary:
Three police officers were shot to death Sunday and three others wounded in Baton Rouge, the same city where Alton Sterling was killed two weeks ago, after they responded to a call of shots fired when they were attacked by at least one gunman, Baton Rouge Mayor Kip Holden said. The three officers had died in what he described as “an ambush-style deal.”
The gunman, who has been killed, has been identified as 29 year old, black male named Gavin Eugene Long of Kansas City, Missouri. CBS News reports the suspect gunned down three Baton Rouge police officers on his birthday. He was born July 17, 1987.
According to CBS News, Long was honorably discharged from the Marines in 2010.
Authorities initially believed that two other assailants might be at large, but hours later said the dead gunman was the only person who fired at the officers. However, a state police spokesman said investigators were unsure whether he had some kind of help from others. “We are not ready to say he acted alone,” Major Doug Cain said.
President Barack Obama condemned the “attack on law enforcement in Baton Rouge” and vowed that justice would be done. “We may not yet know the motives for this attack, but I want to be clear: There is no justification for violence against law enforcement. None. These attacks are the work of cowards who speak for no one,” Obama said in a statement.
Sen. Bill Cassidy told CNN “there’s a war right now on police.”
Obama: “There is no justification for violence against law enforcement. None.”
Disagree – cop kills my son/daughter and they were unarmed and innocent; I want the head of that cop. The fucking literal head.
Turns out the killer is Black and a member of the nation of Islam (reported on Drudge)—What a shock- Who could of guessed?
