The news is saying three officers are dead. This is terrible.

Many officers wounded.

Horrible.

Situation is contained. But three officers feared dead. Seven wounded.

Report of a man walking down Airline Highway in Baton Rouge with a semi automatic rifle apparently is how it started.

Baton Rouge police corporal L’Jean McKneely just gave a press conference and said, in part, "Multiple officers were shot, we do have some that were killed. That’s what I know for sure right now... We’re securing the area with a deceased suspect, a suspect that has been killed. We’re making sure there aren’t any explosives in the area."

Evidently officers are trying to apprehend two suspects (the third is already dead), one of whom is believed to be a woman.

Rod Wheeler, speaking on Fox, says that he feels the officers were summoned to the location by a false call, and were victims of a planned and staged ambush.

Words cannot express my shock and horror of this murderous rampage. Prayers go out to the officers who were ambushed and the families, friends and loved ones.

To all of our LEO friends out there: be safe, watch your back, and remain ever vigilant.

One suspect dead, searching for two others.

CNN (I will not link anything to them since clicks fund thier propaganda machine) report says "motive is unknown" really CNN? You are positive a "assault" rifle was used but can't a guess at might have motivated this?

There will be a news conference from Baton Rouge at 3:00 p.m. Will be carried live on Fox News (and probably other networks).

Statements now indicating more than one shooter. One of the surviving officers is in very critical condition at Our Lady of the Lake Regional Medical Center.

Baton Rouge mayor Kip Holden: "The initial call was shots fired. Whenever an officer hears those words, those two words, the response is immediate, everybody in that area goes to that scene... I’m not sure whether it is related to [protests] but I can tell you the rhetoric that’s been spewed...I have to believe that some of that is related to that."

BLM = Nation of Islam = ISIS sympathizers = enemies of State & cop killers.

Prayers for victims and their families.

Ladies and gentlemen, I posted many times before on this, but get ready .

Fox says two "persons of interest" have been detained and taken to police headquarters.

Storms moving into the Baton Rouge area from the south may hamper the investigation:

Obama has triggered an all out race war. That despicable lying snake race bating worm occupying our WH, who openly invited BLM to WH, that monster needs to be impeached asap, Sharpton and BLM "leadership" arrested and investigated.

This is going to get even worse guys, the closer we get to election.

Has it been confirmed for certain this was an intentional ambush on police? I've seen conflicting reports , some saying ambush others saying they were responding to an incident then shots were fired.

Either way it was a man with "an assault rifle" more fuel to the awb agenda

POTUS has announced that he will address the nation at 3:30 p.m. Central Time, after an update at 3:00 from Governor Edwards.

Do we have any bets about whether or not POTUS will make some sort of mention about gun control?
