Police Trying To Recover After Horrible Weekend In La.

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — State police say the gunman in the Baton Rouge shooting ambushed the six law enforcement officers and "certainly was seeking out police."

Col. Mike Edmonson made the comments this morning. The shooting on Sunday killed three officers and left three others wounded, one critically. Police say the gunman was a former Marine who was killed at the scene.

Edmonson says: "His movements, his direction, his attention was on police officers."

Edmonson also says investigators have interviewed people who had contact with the gunman in Baton Rouge, but he wouldn't say how many or give other details. He stressed that officials are still asking any others who might have had contact with shooter Gavin Long to come forward.

The shooting less than a mile from police headquarters added to the tensions across the country between the black community and police.
