Three officers were killed and three others wounded in a shooting in Baton Rouge that officials think was 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. Authorities are hunting for one or several people wearing all black or possibly army fatigues, said Baton Rouge Police Cpl. L.J. McKneely.
“If they are wearing army fatigues; if they are wearing all black; if they are wearing a mask; if they are wearing anything that’s out there, please, give us a call,” he said. source
