The Louisiana governor called the shooting of Baton Rouge deputies and officers "an absolutely unspeakable heinous attack" Sunday, as the city mourned the deaths of three officers and prayed for the recovery of one "fighting for his life."
Officials said the officers were shot Sunday after responding to a call about a man walking down Airline Highway with an assault rifle at approximately 8:40 a.m. outside a store in Baton Rouge -- about a mile from police headquarters.
Authorities did not name the shooter, but sources identified him to Fox News as Eugene Long of Kansas City, Mo., who they said carried out the attack on his 29th birthday.
Three officers are confirmed dead in the ambush. Three others are injured, including one critically. The gunman was shot and killed at the scene.
Authorities called the investigation as "ongoing," but said there is no active shooter in Baton Rouge. They said the suspect killed was the sole shooter, but they are "not ready to say" he acted alone.
