Baton Rouge is pausing to mark the 10th anniversary of the tragic 2016 law enforcement ambush. Six officers were shot. Four later died from their injuries. The attack began just after 8:40 that Sunday morning and lasted less than 10 minutes. Investigators say Gavin Long fired 43 rounds before a Baton Rouge SWAT officer shot and killed him. Then-State Police Superintendent Mike Edmonson says ending the attack required extraordinary courage.
Matthew Gerald and Montrell Jackson, and East Baton Rouge Sheriff’s deputies Brad Garafola all died the day of the attack. Deputy Nick Tullier survived for nearly six years before dying from complications related to his injuries. East Baton Rouge Sheriff Sid Gautreaux says Tullier’s determination inspired everyone around him.
