they were from missouri. why they came there, whether they were connected with folks in baton rouge, we were also told there's some connection with a group called the sovereign citizens, which has some strong feelings about being opposed to police. but one of the puzzling things about this is the sovereign citizens believe that the only legitimate law enforcement authority is the sheriffs, local sheriff. and there were three deputies shot today. so all this is still very confused, but the main piece of information here is that we've been told by several law enforcement officials that the gunman, the one who fired the shots and was in turn killed by the police is from missouri named gavin long, born in 1987. >> pete, a couple of things, this would explain the use of plural language, because one individual the gunman in this may well be dead and down, but certainly there were accessories and accomplices and is part of a larger group. and second, the big question, obviously, why baton rouge? of all the places on

maryland, she met with rank-and-file officers, something that holder did not do after ferguson, missouri, and specifically said in those conversations with the rank-and-file officers that policing was a noble profession, and those kind of statements, making her seem more apolitical, i think, than eric holder had become perceived went a long way with law enforcement, but that's not to say that she has not vigorously sought to enforce the civil rights laws when there have been shootings as we've seen justice department moving in swiftly in the wake to have the shooting in louisiana this week. so i think she has really, i think, as we're talking about this and trying to contrast her with the end of eric holder's oversight of the justice department, she has tried to strike that balance. but jeff, as you know and all our viewers know, this test, this moment is something that is unimaginable, i think. it's, like, the worst nightmare for the nation's top law enforcement officer, that police officers are now feeling under siege and targeted, and the african-american community wounded and hurting

it appears that he's from missouri. what his connection is with the police in baton rouge we don't know. that's to be determined as well. so the bear bones of this are clear, but the why behind it is so often the case just hours after this happened is anything but clear. but the authorities were saying at the news conference there that there was no active shooter situation. and that is backed up by some officials who say that the growing concern -- growing thinking that he acted alone based on what they've been able to find out. but this is all going to resolve itself in the next few hours. but it's still a little clearer now, but there's still some pretty big questions here that remain unanswered. >> thank you for that reporting, pete. that's absolutely right. it's possible that we had a lone gunman who is down and has been killed by police. it is also possible there are more than one person they're looking for perhaps involved or tangentially connected. we'll take a break. excuse me. our coverage will continue on the
