The shooting came after several days of protests over the death of Alton Sterling, who was fatally shot by police on July 5. Video of the shooting recorded by a witness was shared on social media.

The investigation into that shooting is ongoing.

The large protests have led to hundreds of arrests in Baton Rouge.

During the protests in Baton Rouge, police uncovered a “credible threat,” against officers.

Baton Rouge Police announced last week that they had arrested multiple people involved in a burglary of a pawn shop tied to a threat against police officers, The Advocate reports.

Four burglars broke into a pawn shop and stole eight handguns, police said. One suspect told police they were looking for bullets to kill officers, police said.

Police arrested four people, including a 12-year-old boy, in the case.


10. The Governor Called the Shooting Deaths of the Officers an ‘Unspeakable & Unjustified Attack’

Louisiana Governor John Bel Edwards called the attack an “unspeakable and unjustified attack.”

Baton Rouge Mayor-President Kip Holden called the shooting an “ambush” and asked for prayers for the wounded officers.

The mayor, governor and police officials were at the hospital Sunday afternoon to support the wounded officers and their families.

President Barack Obama issued a statement on the shooting Sunday afternoon:

I condemn, in the strongest sense of the word, the attack on law enforcement in Baton Rouge. For the second time in two weeks, police officers who put their lives on the line for ours every day were doing their job when they were killed in a cowardly and reprehensible assault. These are attacks on public servants, on the rule of law, and on civilized society, and they have to stop.

I’ve offered my full support, and the full support of the federal government, to Governor Edwards, Mayor Holden, the Sheriff’s Office, and the Baton Rouge Police Department. And make no mistake – justice will 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. They right no wrongs. They advance no causes. The officers in Baton Rouge; the officers in Dallas – they were our fellow Americans, part of our community, part of our country, with people who loved and needed them, and who need us now – all of us – to be at our best.

Today, on the Lord’s day, all of us stand united in prayer with the people of Baton Rouge, with the police officers who’ve been wounded, and with the grieving families of the fallen. May God bless them all.

Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump reacted to the shooting on social media. The presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, Hillary Clinton, has not commented on the shooting.

Dallas Police Chief David Brown shared a message of support on Twitter.

Five officers were fatally shot in Dallas in an ambush attack earlier this month.
