Three police officers are dead and three others injured following a shooting in Baton Rouge, La., early Sunday. According to officials, one suspect was killed in the shooting, which occurred along a stretch of highway about two miles from state police headquarters.
The killings come on the heels of the slayings of five Dallas police officers in an ambush during a protest of the police-involved deaths of black men in Falcon Heights, Minn., and Baton Rouge. Follow Yahoo News’ liveblog below for all of the latest developments on the shooting.
"As of right now, we don’t know the motive of the killer. We don’t know whether the killer had set out to target police officers, or whether he gunned them down as they responded to a call. Regardless of motive, the death of these three brave officers underscores the danger that police across the country confront every single day. And we as a nation have to be loud and clear that nothing justifies violence against law enforcement. Attacks on police are an attack on all of us and the rule of law that makes society possible.” — President Obama
