Secure that area. Stale very active scene. We also have reporting into nbc that one suspect who died was fatally shot by police was wearing black fatigues and armed with a rifle that. New information coming in. This as the Police Department in baton rouge is having to deal with the loss of at least three of their own with the governor at this hour, at the hospital meeting with the families as they are coping with that reality that their loved ones have died from this shootout. In my conversation with the mayor earlier today he said that initially there are reports of shots fired and according to other Law Enforcement they said there were other calls to 911 about a person dressed in black armed with a long gun walking the streets and soon after those reports of gunfire came in this area. The mayor also saying when police did respond they were met with an ambush style attack, in his words. But again, very tense situation in baton rouge. Given the fact that he has already been tense in th
Local hospital, but the mayor confirming that three other officers have been killed. We know that baton rouge has been the site of a lot of tension in recent days, following the shooting death of alton sterling. He had his funeral on friday, but we saw the protests pick up as late as yesterday outside the Police Headquarters. We dont know if these situations with directly remitted, but given what the mayor told us here at msnbc, these are possible shoot oers who wa who wanted to do harm and believes these officers were specifically targeted.

Tell us about the eerie details the shooter leaving messages in his own blood. Thats right, frances. We now know he apparently left a final message. He wrote the initials rb on a note in his own blood in a parking garage. Its unclear what it means. Investigators are trying to figure out if it ties into the shootings, may be a piece of clue as to why he did this.

Good morning, welcome to am joy and coming to you live from erie island, coffee, and donald trump has picked mike pence as his running made. He spent the indiana governor packing. He traveled home to represent a gop rally in indianapolis.
