| [9 WAFB News] Officials have confirmed that two law enforcement officers have died and others were injured during an early morning shooting on Airline Highway near Old Hammond Highway in Baton Rouge. “The scene seems to be contained right now,” said Sgt. Don Coppola, Baton Rouge Police Department. “We’re asking everyone to stay out of the area.” Multiple agencies responded to the B Quick store on Airline Hwy shortly before 9 a.m. Sunday morning. Officials confirm that several Baton Rouge Police Officers were struck during gunfire. "I do not have the extent of the injuries," Sgt. Coppola explained. “We’re hearing that it may also include some deputies [with the East Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff’s Office], but that’s preliminary information and I’m waiting on confirmation.” The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development reported Airline North and South is closed between Goodwood Boulevard and I-12.

| #11 You recall all those up-armored Hummers and mine resistant vehicles that were given the police departments, with much suspect by the community. I suspect they'll replace the old commercial vehicles soon in some metro areas as response vehicles. Might as well give them to the EMTs too while you're at it. However, Cities should have to earn these rather than just hand them out. Helps identifying where to stay on the Interstate. |

| #8 That's certainly ok Frank. Better to have more input than less as situations develop. I've got to attend to some Sunday afternoon chores. See you later. |
