this is cnn breaking news. welcome to our viewers of the united states around the world. we are live in atlanta now, i am natalie allen. and george howell. we continue to follow the breaking news in baton rouge. this day and this time a gunman from the state of missouri ambushed and killed three of its police officers sunday morning. three other officers were wounded and police received a call of a man carrying a rifle dressed all in black walking along the highway.

when police arrived, the shooting began. [ inaudible ] >> something you have never seen. it was over as minute. the situation of baton rouge is already very tense after the police involved shooting of officer sterling on july 5th. louisiana police announced they have received threats against officer in the city of baton rouge. >> mathew gerald and montrael jackson and brad garafola were the police officers shot from the attack. again, u.s. president obama condemned all attacks on law enforcement. regardless of motive, the deaths of these three officers under score the dangers of police across the country confront

every single day. we as a nation to be loud and clear that nothing justifies violence against law enforcement. attacks on police or attack on all of us. the rule of law that makes society possible. >> cnn's drew griffin had been in baton rouge all day and following the development and he joins me now, what do we know about the person who carried out this shooting. >> reporter: natalie, it is a complicated story. he graduated in high school in kansas city, missouri. he went to the marines, spent five years. deployed in iraq for about seven or eight months and came back and left the marines after five years of service in 2010. and then this person who he is named of gavin long seems to take a change and his wife began posting online. he had joined of what people

believed to be radical african-american, black national group. he changed his name last year from gavin long to cosmo sentapenra. he began to post very insighting kind of comments talking about the need to stop protesting and taking action. we'll show you one of those v youtube videos after the police shooting raised so many concerns. this is the person under the name cosmo posted in youtube. >> no words, he does not understand protests. if y'all want to keep protest and doing that. the real ones, the alpha ones, we know what it is going to take. it is only fighting back or money. that's all they care about. revenue and blood.

revenue and blood. he also posted you got to fight back. that's the only way bullies know how to quit. he made that post in the city of dallas after the shooting of five police officers there. police here are working under a theory that he rented a car in kansas city and drove to dallas and drove here to baton rouge where he must have chased the police department and knew where those police officers would be coming. the shooting happening just a mile or a mile a half from where i am standing right now in the police station. natalie, it is a confusing picture of this young man. i don't think he did act alone at this point. i am trying to see if he has any associates who may have helped him or might have known about his plan prior to this, so far, there is no indications of that. natalie. >> yeah, he also did this on his birthday which is another dui civil war twist as well.

do we know anything more about how this started? there was some reports of police responding to a 911 call, i am not sure if that was done to lure the police in or not? anything on that? >> reporter: yeah, the police are calling it an ambush, we don't have the information specifically on what was that 911 call, was it somebody who saw a man walking down the streets dressed in black carrying a rifle on sunday morning. of course, someone saw that and called 911. was it this killer who called 911 talking about a fictitious shoot out. there was some way he was able to through someone else's 911 call or through his own 91 call to lure police into what was a trap and he just started shooting them when they arrived. three shot dead and three more injured and one tonight as they

tried to help him in the hospital. it does look like what the police are calling this is a pure lily an ambush. >> i feel for the community of baton rouge, they have been through a lot. thank you drew. >> it seems like we are talking about these things too often. >> the deaths of police officers again and we are talking about this. police officers, one of them posted on facebook about how tired he was. physically and emotionally, that's unable. >> one day after the dallas police ambush and three days after alton sterling's death. he wrote this on facebook. i swear to god i love this city but i wonder if this city loves me. in uniform, i get nasty and some considered me a threat. i experienced so much in my

short lives a and these last th days have tested me to the core. >> just powerful to hear his words and his feelings. >> and he's an african-american police officer shot dead today. >> in this climate of confusion, that's the word earlier, anderson cooper, spoke with johnson. >> this is a tremendous -- he really believed what he was doing and helping people. >> he had a young baby. >> yeah. >> yeah, three or four months old. any time i talk to him, he talked about what he can do and

helping baton rouge to be a better city. >> he written a lot in the wake up of alton sterling and the difficulty he's facing. is that something he always wanted to do? >> yes, jose, would tell me that he can be some where that's protected and dedicated and helping people. he's been like that all his life, he's a dedicated young man, that's just the way he was. >> we just saw -- excuse me. >> looking at him and got a new child, my heart goes out. >> absolutely. >> there is more that he wrote on his facebook page that's

quite -- >> if anyone wants to check it out. >> the mayor of baton rouge spoke out. >> he says it is up to the public now to support the police and to protect them >> basically, this was a major of gut blow. i mean nobody even expected this to happen. we were whining down from other activities with sterling family and then we started getting into a load of drawing dawn some of the officers that had been working 18 hour as day and s saying we'll relieve you now and this morning, we hit in the face with another incident. >> i call the community to understand, those people kill and injure our first responders, now is our time to be first responders for those who are victims of the sense less killings and let them knowing that we are standing there for them and know that we are not

going to let that define baton rouge. >> the mayor of baton rouge pointed out the fact that the city is already struggling in tense place trying to come together from another profile shooting. police involved shooting of alton sterling. >> sterling's aunt pleaded for peace in light of this continuous violence. >> we don't call for no bloodshed. that's how it all started with bloodshed. no more bloodshed. [ cries ] >> please, go home and do whatever. this is our house. you cannot come to our house killing us. that's what you are doing because at the end of the day, these people calling these families and they're telling them that their daddies and mommies are not coming home. i know how that feel because i got the same phone call.

alton sterling on july 5th. police are receiving threats in the city of baton rouge. brad garafola and montrael jackson and mathew gerald. u.s. president obama calling the shooting in called for and condemn t condemned the attacks on all law enforcement. >> the deaths of these three officers under score police across the country of what they are facing everyday. nothing justify violence against law enforcement. attacks on police or attack on all of us. the rule of law that makes society possible. the president of the united states speaking and now lets go live to baton rouge, our u.s. congressman from the state of

louisiana is joining p jous nowe from baton rouge. >> sir, it is good to have thank you, the audio problems happening time to time, deepest condolences in to the families there of our state. before we talk about the person who's behind all this. i do want to ask about the community and that state, how people are coping with all of this? >> reporter: yeah, you know, we have been through some of the worst hurricanes and some of the worst environmental disasters with the oil spills and we dealt with it all here. we have been able to come back and recover. this community is a very, very close knit, people give their shirts off their back to help one another and to have a situation like this in the wake of alton sterling shooting is just awful. it is an effort to the hate and divide the community. you will see quickly that this community is coming back

together and not let this affect our future. >> i want to focus on the fact that we don't know much at this point. we don't have any indications of any motive for investigators, this investigation under way, i want to play out what we do know that the person behind this follo follows several conspiracy groups, law enforcement say that he had two websites described himself as a freedom strategy and a mental game coach and nutritionist author and spiritual advisor and he was part of some sort of a black sovereign group. there is a lot of questions about who was at this point. >> reporter: there are certainly are. the bottom line is you can track this thing and think about

. police officers came right here to protest police head quarters rather than where they have been having peaceful for the past several days. sir, we appreciate you being with us again. we send our deepest condolences to the families and the people in your state are dealing with so much grieve, thank you sir. cnn's senior law enforcement tom fuentes is joining us now from virginia to talk about what happened, tom, thank you for joining us. >> thank you, the latest information, this was an ambush. police were lured there by a 911 call. what does it say to you? >> now, in the u.s. for many years, we are seeing it in this situation, it is actually been a

threat of what i went through rookie police training in 1973 where we heard about calls where police officers were lure todd location and got ambushed. it is relatively new at the recent times. >> it is one more thing that police officers have to think about. >> i want to talk to you about that, louisiana, just had a statewide conference to talk about the increase sense of vigilance and police said they have to maintain and protect and serve despite the tensions and what about that? how should they be doing their jobs right now? >> well, it is very difficult because we cannot, you know, we had isis for two years of messages killing police officers and we have the attack of new york police officers with a

hatchet a year and a half ago. a militia group in -- and now we have individuals or black group inspired to say avenge black people who have been shot by police. and in their minds by killing white police officers or for that matter, police officers. >> there is any time that needs to be a sense of trusts on both sides or a sense of respect on both sides or perhaps is now you use a lot of examples where police officers have a lot of threats that get them. the question is how do we get there right now? this was a u.s. marine for certain reasons decided to take his anger out in a violent way and kill people >> yeah, that's true. we heard so much in this country

about community policing and dallas policing and one of the most extensive and successful police program in the world and yet the shooter that went and attack and kill dallas police officers last week lives in another town and the suburbs in dallas. >> and in baton rouge, you know, we don't know and we hear that the relations are as good with the community and with the police in baton rouge. this shooter came from kansas ci city, missouri, hundreds of miles away. police at the local level can do a great deal in the community to try to win trust. when you have people driving hundreds of miles to attack officer in a town they have no ifi affiliations or any connections, i don't know how to fight that. >> we heard from president obama

and even donald trump that says our country is divided. these are difficult times right now. we appreciate your support there. >> thank you, natalie. >> we don't know the real motivation of this shooter, they're going dak bback to his and investigate there. there is a lot of people going in different directions. we are waiting for investigators to tell us the motives and beginning to follow the breaking news there. in turkey, the president of that nation saying he won't rule out providing the death penalties for people's behind friday's coop. a funeral on sunday for some of the people killed in the uprising there. at least 290 people died in the coup atestimony.

attempt. >> cnn is live in turkey, it is good to have you at this hour ian. investigation is under way and as who's behind coup and people who have been arrested and now the president is considering bringing back the death penalty. >> reporter: well, that's right, we heard that yesterday speaking at a rally and it was the people who started chanting "we want the death penalty," they're the ones saying he cannot ignore the will of the people. they are considering bringing back the death penalty which had been out lawed in turkey or those people responsible for this coup. now, we are hearing at least 6,000 people who have been arrested and in relations with this coup and a lot of people are wondering exactly who are these people exactly and a lot of them are soldiers but there are other people that have been arrested as well.

erdogan is also calling for supporters to continue in the street. do what you need to do in the day go to work but at night, we need you out in the streets at night. we saw them texting on the streets of is stantanbul or hon their horns or waving their flags, chanting. for now at least of what you are hearing from the president, it does not seem like we are out of the woods yet. they need that street support, george. >> yes, the failed coupe atte a showing of the division. many critics did not support the president. this is the opportunity where mr. ergogan -- the question that

we have for you coming out of this seemingly stronger. >> reporter: oh, definitely, from what people have been saying of what people are seeing him acting is that it has not beholden him and strengthen his position. when you look at the opposition for the most part and political party, this incident is a lose for them. you have ergogan -- they support the democratic process here in turkey but at the same time when erdogan landed in istanbul, he said it was different from god. what that exactly means, we are not sure. a lot of people believe that he meant that this is only going to

encouraged him to out his power here, something he's trying to do here. >> ian lee, is live for us in istanbul. we appreciate your report there. >> we have much more on the deadly police ambush in baton rouge including if gunman of his conspiracy group that he's following. more is coming up here. you are watching "cnn news room."

this is cnn breaking news. >> welcome back, we are live with natalie allen. >> i am george howell. >> u.s. authorities are investigating a motive of the gunman who shot and killed three

police officers in baton rouge. gavin long was very active, identifying himself with black separatist movement. there is no indication he was directed by any particular group. he followed several conspiracy groups that of monitoring. law enforcement said he had two websites where he described himself as a freedom strike tat. >> three officers have been identified, mathew gerald and montrael jackson and brad garafola. >> one officer is wounded and another one is in grave condition. >> nothing justify violence against law enforcement. >> it appears that the -- he

also went by the nick name of cosmo setepenra and wrote books under that name. one law enforcement source says the gunman appeared to be paranoid. >> he was on a bunch of different websites and joined a different groups that are strange when luke at tyou look names of these groups. it appears that this individual is suffered from some type of paranoia and you put that together with him traveling to dallas and him posting information how he admired the dallas shooter and we had him coming over to baton rouge, another flash point location in the country right now and committed this horrendous act. we have been concerned about copy cats and we talk about them every single time after every one of these scenario and here is one primary example.

>> lets get to cedric alexander, joining us live, it is good to have you. the former background of the national president of the executive and here in dekalb. i want to ask, sir, the simple fact that this happens and our concern of copy cats, your thoughts there. >> any time we are concerned that there will be others who'll come and attempt to do the same type of thing. that's a concern of law enforcement, now, we are in a place of where we are in america of things that's going around, it is important that we remain vigilant for our officers out there. we want to make sure that we as community members give them all the support they needed, a challenging time and not just

their loss. >> the law enforcement that suffered last week and as of today. all supporters are needed for the community going forward >> it is interesting because we are at a point of this investigation where we really don't have a great deal to gleam from motive. is there anything that you are hearing from your sources or any background that you are getting on this? >> no, i think what we have to do is patiently wait and allow this investigation to evolve overtime. each day we are going to learn more and more about who this shooter was. we gathered a lot of information just today. what was his motivation to lure those officers into that location and appeared to look that way. >> each day that goes by, we are going to learn more and more about what the motivation of this shooter was. >> i want to also ask you of your thoughts because when you

look at the picture of who the person behind this was, there is a lot to unpackaged, you get the sense that he was part of a black separatist group and at the same time he connected and following to group suggested of paranoia. what do you make of what we know about him at this point? >> a little gross analysis of him where i put my psychologist hat on, george, there is clearly some indication of some emotion emotional disturbance from him if you look at his writing that posted. they did not make much sense, he was disoriented all over the place or disorganized and associated himself with all types of groups of some sort of fashion. i think in the end of it all, i would fairly guess that he probably had some psychological emotional issues that were going

on and that were positioning to the shooting today. where it began, we don't know. we also talk about an individual that just a few years ago, finished high school and served five years in the united states, marine core was discharged and all of a sudden we find this and it is very unbelievable because those officers that lost their lives today served their country and their community. they loved their community and they're in baton rouge and even though this is a challenging time for law enforcement in this country, -- it was a sense less death and officers knew that they were targeted today. we are going to have to pick up where we are as a nation, gor george, to move forward. it is going to take the police and the community to do so.

>> cedric, sir, if we'll just put the images there of those officers killed today. >> many people are jumping the gun and trying to understand who the gunman was and what the motive is. we simply don't know and the moment right now is simply to remember these officers were killed. cedric alexander, live, thank you sir. >> thank you for having me. >> the presumptive nominee are responding to the shooting >> donald trump made his tv route with his new running mate, more on politics right now with sarah murray. >> donald trump and hillary clinton sharply condemned the killings of police officers in baton rouge today. another horrific shootings scrambled the landscape. >> clinton released a statement there is no justification for violence and for hate and for attacks to our law enforcement

transportation and a wide open area. but from here you don't see the q unless you're up at altitude, like we are now. across the valley, over the river. which is why demonstrators will be allowed to march or parade about a mile and 3/4 toward downtown over a predetermined route that took months of negotiation. that is one of the guardians of transportation. it's a unique architectural feature of this beautiful art deco 1932 bridge. and the protesters could come right over this, and they get a great view of the q, but they can't get near it. and from a security point of view it works out. they're hemmed in. now, if there's going to be trouble, it's on the other side. there is no law specifically stating how close demonstrators must be able to approach. court rulings have said it should be close enough for them to be seen and heard. this is the closest that the demonstrators will be able to get to the quicken loans arena. we're right at the end of the bridge we just crossed over.

from here they're supposed to turn and veer off in the opposite direction. something they're potentially not likely to do. because they want to be seen and heard. and this is also where the police presence is likely to be very heavy. and that's why there's a good chance if there is conflict it's going to happen right here, because the demonstrators will be pushing in and of course law enforcement will be pushing back. the police say as long as everyone reminds peaceful it won't be a problem. but if that changes they also say they'll be ready. martin savidge, cnn, cleveland. >> we'll have more of our breaking news coverage in the next hour. i'm natalie allen. >> and i'm george howell. stay with cnn. so you can take your business just about anywhere. plus, our extended range lte reaches twice as far and it's 4x better in buldings. get more done in more places.
