Police officers have been shot in Baton Rouge, La., and authorities have begun a search for whoever fired on them, according to the mayor and news reports.
Kip Holden, mayor of East Baton Rouge Parish, told CNN that "three officers are feared dead."
A witness told WBRZ-TV that a man was dressed in black with his face covered shooting indiscriminately when he walked out between a convenience store and car wash across from Hammond Air Plaza. Police closed the streets between the police department’s headquarters and Interstate 12.
WAFB-TV reported officers were shot along Airline Highway near Old Hammond Highway, but didn’t specify the number of police.
