A lone gunman wearing all black and toting a rifle shot and killed three cops in Baton Rouge and wounded three more Sunday, authorities said.
Cops killed the shooter in a wild shootout around 8:40 a.m. local time on a main thoroughfare in the Louisiana capitol.
Authorities said there was not an “active shooter situation” in the city, indicating there were not two other suspects in the attack, as they’d said earlier.
Police were used a robot to check the body of the dead suspect for explosives.
Dispatch audio obtained by The Advocate revealed that cops responded to a call before 9 a.m. local time about a man armed with an assault rifle near a B-Quik convenience store on Airline Highway. The store is across from a shopping center, Hammond Aire Plaza.
