None

Three police officers were shot dead and several others wounded in Baton Rouge, Louisiana on Sunday, the city's mayor said, as the country remained on edge in the wake of police shootings of black men and the killings of five Dallas officers.

 

A Louisiana State Police official told NBC that officers in Baton Rouge were responding to a call of shots fired when they were ambushed by at least one gunman. A gunman was shot but his condition was not clear.
