Six police officers shot at in Baton Rouge - three of them have died

Baton Rouge, Louisiana, is once again in the headlines because three police officers have been shot dead after being lured to their deaths through, what is believed, to have been, an apparent false 911 call. This is the city where a black man was shot dead by officers earlier this month.
The father-of-five had been shot dead on 5 July. He was shot in his car during a traffic stop by an officer near Minneapolis and his girlfriend filmed the aftermath and broadcast it live on the social media. That led to a nationwide protests. Subsequently, a gunman opened fire and killed five white police officers in Dallas.
This has been reported in news.sky.com dated 18 July 2016.

In the latest shooting, the gunman shot six officers of which three have died and the others are in hospitals - one if teem is serious. Two of the three dead officers belonged to the city's police department while the third was from the sheriff's office. They were ambushed while responding to reports of gunfire.
The gunman has been identified and named in US media reports as a 29-year-old African-American from Kansas City. He also died in police fire.
President Barack Obama said the shooting underscored the danger law enforcement officials faced. Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump blamed lack of leadership in the country. Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton commented that there was "no justification for violence" against officers.
