President Obama urged Americans to avoid divisive rhetoric Sunday after a gunman fatally shot three police officers and wounded three others Sunday morning in Baton Rouge, La.
Addressing the second assault against police during the past two weeks, Obama said that “nothing justifies attacks on law enforcement.” Officials have yet to state a motive for the attack.
Authorities identified the gunman as Gavin Long from Kansas City, Mo. Long, who turned 29 July 17, was a Marine veteran who served in Iraq. He was killed in a shootout with police, according to authorities.
