Three Baton Rouge cops shot and killed in shooting by lone gunman

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.

Nelly Furtado’s New Album Due Out November

Nelly Furtado’s sixth album — and first full-length in four years — will soon arrive. She tells The Times Colonistthat her follow-up to 2012’s The Spirit Indestructible this November.

The new album will be of songs Nelly wrote on the guitar, as she did with her 2000 debut Whoa, Nelly!, making The Spirit Indestructible her “final pop album.” (Translation: Don’t expect another Loose, either.)

“It’s like when you squeeze a lemon, and you really want to get out that last bit of juice,” Nelly said of the approach to her latest material. “I have shed another layer of skin.”

One song featured on Nelly’s new album is called “Phoenix,” a title she also borrowed for her July 25 concert with the Victoria Symphony benefitting Syrian refugees. “Behind Your Back,” released July 13, won’t be included. “It’s a palette cleanse…an appetizer,” she says.

Justin Bieber To Fan Throwing Gift Onstage: “I Don’t Want That Shit”

Justin Bieber had choice words for a fan during one ofhis recent concerts.

During his July 15 show in Atlantic City, someone threw him a gift onto the stage, which Justin tossed back. He wasn’t having it, not during his on-stage banter.

“Take this moment to listen. And try not to give me a hat or whatever you’re trying to throw onto the stage right now, because I probably don’t want that shit,” Justin said. The crowd cheered — never mind whoever tried to give him a present. “Sorry, that was mean.”

Justin didn’t want to be interrupted was because he wanted to stress that “we all have a purpose.” Read: he wanted to segue into the title track of his new album Purpose, which we’re sure he’s done before. “Sorry for throwing your hat,” Justin continued, “but you ruined the moment.”
