10 00 p. M. Eastern each night. Thanks for inviting us into your home. Thats it for the special report. Fair, balanced and unafraid. Greta goes on the record right now. This is a fox news alert. Police ambush murdered again. A gunman dressed in all black executing three Baton Rouge Police officers. Three other officers hit with gunfire and one is fighting for his life. Good evening, we are live from cleveland, ohio, for the 2016 Republican National convention. We begin with the Second Attack on police in just over a week. The other day it was dallas. Today, baton rouge. Foxs will carr is live in baton rouge. Good evening, greta. We have confirmed that the gunman they say shot Six Police Officers today was gavin eugene
long. He turned 29 years old today. Hes from kansas city originally and was a former marine. Beyond that there is a lot of questions about his motivation, exactly what brought him to baton rouge this morning. Here is what we know. According to witnesses around 8 20 they saw long dressed in all black, as you mentioned, car rig a rifle. Shots rang out a short time after that. Long was killed in an exchange with officers. Before he was, he shot the six officers, killing three. Of those three, at least one was black. We are told all were married and all had families. Three other officers were at the hospital tonight. One officer is fighting for his life. Hes in critical condition. All members of Law Enforcement who race towards that scene are being called heroes tonight. Keep in mind the Police Department was very close to where the shooting took place. Hundreds of officers ended up swarming the area. Tonight Authorities Say at this point there are no more active
threats across the area but they are not elaborating if there are more suspects potentially out there or if they are interviewing any suspects. It comes as the community really has heavy hearts, greta. Ironically, both the superintendent of the Louisiana State police and the governor met with president obama just a couple of days ago to discuss how they could improve relations between communities and between Police Departments across the country. None obviously knowing about the bloodshed that would play out in baton rouge today. President obama addressing the nation a couple of hours ago saying his thoughts and prayers are with the families that have been ripped apart today. Greta . Will, i dont understand the scene. Were there a couple of Police Officers and the shooting engaged and others responded . I realize this is an ongoing investigation. How was he able to kill the Police Officers, shoot so many . Reporter at this point,
investigators arent going into the specific details. They say it is a massive crime scene. He started shooting and then apparently continued along the way, shooting at every single officer that was responding. But there is no doubt about it. They say this was plain and simple an ambush on these officers that his goal was to shoot and kill these officers and tonight we have lost three members of Law Enforcement here in louisiana and their brethren are mourning the loss, greta. Will, its just about ten days ago in dallas. Five more executed, murdered. Will, thank you. Mark clements lives in the neighborhood where the deadly shooting took place. He heard the gunshots that killed the three Police Officers. Mark goes on the record from baton rouge. Tell me when you first knew something was going on. Yes. It was this morning, probably 8 30, 8 45 in the morning. I was going to let the dogs out
in the backyard. You hear the first couple of shots and think, is this what i think it is. Living around the corner from the Police Headquarters, we have been used to protests and more active areas. The next few shots fired i heard probably 10 to 12 shots in the time i was outside. You immediately go back inside, try to lock the doors, try to figure out whats going on. Explain the area. Im looking at the pictures and i see a lot of police cars there with the lights and everything. Whats the area like generally around the murder scene . Like i have been telling everyone who asked. I have never felt unsafe in my home or in the neighborhood. Its a really active neighborhood. There are always families pushing strollers, walking the dog, going for a jog. There is a high school in the area. There is extra Law Enforcement like in most high schools around the time kids are getting to and from school. I never felt unsafe. A lot of families, married families with kids who bring the kids to school in the morning. Its really not a bad area at all. I have been there a year. Never felt unsafe. Its extraordinary. I know what you have gone through. We have gone through what happened in minnesota and the five Police Officers. Baton rouge is going through this horror again. I can only imagine everyone in the community is feeling grief and turned it all upside down. Thats definitely true. The weird through is the passthrough protest going around the corner from the Police Headquarters. I have driven by the Police Headquarters and its been a peaceful message from what i have seen. There are no signs of people calling for real United Nations or more violence. Everything i have seen has always been a message of peace. Its a shock and also obviously sickening to see this happen today. Three Police Officers murdered. One clinging to life. Two more shot and some families tonight in deep grief in your community. Mark, thank you. Terrifying moments when gunfire erupted playing out on Chilling Police dispatch recording. Shots fired. Officer down. Shots fired. Officer down. Shots fired. Got a city officer down. Police identified the killer as 29yearold gavin long. Fox news chief intelligence correspondent goes on the record from washington, d. C. Catherine . Reporter thanks, greta. Today i spoke with the u. S. Government official getting information in real time as events unfolded. He told me the initial piece of intelligence the comes were working with is there was a guy with an alaska style weapon with
a bullet proof vest. There are a couple different scenarios he shot them as they arrived on scene. He was in a vehicle at one point able to spray the comes which helped explain the high number of casualties and injuries. We always hear whether someone is known to the police or not, known to Law Enforcement or not. Was this killer known to Law Enforcement . What we know tonight is that police are descending on his home in kansas city, missouri. They are doing so with weapons drawn. Earlier today our affiliate there in kansas city went to that last known address for gavin long and said when they approached the house, the guy who answered brandished a weapon in an effort to get them to leave the property. There are reports this evening that he was a member of antigovernment groups. We have not independently
confirmed that. Certainly we have heard nothing from our contacts or the News Conference this afternoon that he was known to police and considered a threat. Early on in the reporting it said there was a man hunt for two others. What happened with that . Correct. Based on the News Conference it may have been the kind of reporting we saw in dallas because of the quickness and complexity of the crime scene and the way in which shots were fired and what eyewitnesses heard. They didnt indicate once they had the News Conference that there were other shooters. What has my attention and probably yours, too, given your experience is they didnt rule out they were talking to two people who had in some way assisted in this conspiracy, greta. Thank you. Youre welcome. President of the louisiana fraternal order of police and deputy of the pineville Police Department goes on the record. Good evening, sir. I dont know what to say. I keep going through the shows it seems like too often where Police Officers are executed on the street. My condolences to you and all Law Enforcement. Thank you, maam. This is a dark day in louisiana for Law Enforcement. Do you get the sense and im saying this carefully. I dont want to stir up trouble. But that the community, that the nation isnt behind Law Enforcement or the government isnt or that you have a target on your back . Tell me how you think Law Enforcement is feeling. In louisiana, i think we are unique. We have a great sense of community in our state. There is a great sense of people showing respect and showing support for Law Enforcement across the state. There is that portion of the community that doesnt appreciate the job we do every day. Overall in louisiana, i think we are fortunate to have the support of our communities
across the state. In this early investigation we have no idea what provoked this guy. We have no idea if the prior shootings had anything to do with it. We are suspicious. Nonetheless, the police are getting shot. Why do you think this is happening . Whats your theory . I mean, we think there is always a certain narrative across the nation where a Certain Group of people are always coming out, bashing Law Enforcement being the things we do. Law enforcement officers are like everyone else. They have a job to do. We are the protectors of the community. On a daily basis they go out, protect that community and they want to return at night or at the end of the tour to their family and be part of the community they protect on a daily basis. Thats the chief job of the Law Enforcement officer is to protect the community and return home with the family at night. I was listening to the police
chief in dallas last week. He said something that really struck. The Police Officers are expected to do so much more. They are going into communities with drug problems. They are not the ones supposed to be solving drug problems. Politicians are getting federal money and we have drugs in the communities. Education is falling apart. Police officers arent supposed to create educational programs. We expect so much of the police because other people arent doing the job. I got it. I thought what in the world are we doing for Police Across the country . Your thoughts. Sure. Chief brown had tons of great remarks when the tragedy happened in dallas. To a certain extent i believe hes right that communities ask us to do a lot more things in protecting and serving the public. They want us to be involved. As Law Enforcement officers because of who we are and the nature of things we do we always want to be involved in the conversations about protecting our communities and making them
better on a daily basis. Thats part of the reason Law Enforcement officers get involved in the job they want to do. Seems they are getting squeezed from the politicians who arent doing their jobs trying to fix problems in the community and getting in the community who are d dissatisfied with them. Its unfair to so many Law Enforcement across the country. Chief, we grieve with you and everybody else tonight in Law Enforcement. Thanks for joining us, sir. Thank you, maam. Its great to be on. Our prayers and thoughts are with baton rouge and the Baton Rouge Community of this tragedy from today. Thank you, sir. Todays police shootings, murders coming one day before the kick off of the rnc convention. Safety and security is on the minds of even, especially those in cleveland. On the record investigates the security preparations under way outside quicken loans arena. Grif . Reporter when you talk to
the officers here they would be lying if they told you they werent on a heightened awareness concerned about things. You see protesters that we have in d. C. In this just 20 minutes ago this entrance was shut down. We had a presence of 50 or more officers. We had dozens of officers on horseback. We had folks looking like they were ready for riot gear. There is no one here. Just a few officers doing traffic. We are learning about the operations already. They will be swift. When they dont have a threat they are going to remain in the background. Not in an aggressive position. When i spoke earlier today to Sergeant Jennifer chuns about what they are doing this is what she had to say. We have support coming from as far west as california and as far south as florida. We have officers from around the country sworn in as special Police Officers here to support the efforts to keep cleveland
save during this event. We are looking forward to a safe event and well Work Together to make sure it happens. I want you to look at something the Police Union President here steve loomis talked about his concerns particularly for officers that may be in solo positions. There are 35 according to him of traffic officers in the city. He says, as you can see, at this entrance to the Convention Center where you are, there are multiple officers. Further away you get there may be intersections according to the police union, 35 of them, where there could be only one officer. That makes him a soft and easy target should there be a targeting of officers here. But as sergeant ciacca says thousands have been training for over 18 months for this operation. They are from hundreds of Law Enforcement offices across the country. They are ready for it. Not intimidated by any threat out there. They asked if you were here and you see something to call the tip line, 800callfbi. I was struck by something. I was struck by how nice and sweet the Police Officers were. There are lots of crowds here. Lebron james and basketball here. But everything is everyone is professional. They were gracious opd an a day thats painful for Law Enforcement, they all know what happened in baton rouge today. I tip my hat tonight. There is a tough job in cleveland. Thank you.
