According to news outlets, 4 people total. He was the last one left as he was on a standoff. The other 3 were arrested and not cooperating.

Thanks. CNN is saying he claimed to be acting alone. I'd be shocked if 1 guy was able to pull this massacre off without help.

CNN in particular has shite the bed with this event. Surprisingly, Fox News was on point last night.

100%

It took CNN about an hour to even start discussing it from when Fox started.

It was unreal. I kept switching back and forth and CNN really shite the bed. Then when coverage started, it was atrocious and Fox was getting fantastic camera shots and interviews.

And I'm normally a CNN guy.

He denounced being a part of a group. Good for BLM. They should now take note and stop attempting to rationalize this. Especially Gary on Facebook. frick that guy, man.

Yeah, CNN is now saying it was a single gunman acting alone. I can't imagine. That defies credibility, unless that guy was Rambo.

Honestly? This thread had the best info, and reported it more quickly, than any news outlet. I've been in my off-season hiatus, but had to check in for this. The threads here are always good on breaking news.

On that show "Newsroom" on HBO I remember them saying for every minute that they didn't cover a top breaking story and a competitor does, they lose like $100,000 or something like that.

Because once you switch to a channel for breaking news, people rarely change it and watch for an extended period of time.

Which is weird because the Chief of Police and Mayor said 3 suspects were in custody and were "being tight lipped".

Look at African American Defense League on facebook. He was apparently a member. Their last 2 posts have called for killing cops. They are coming to Baton Rouge Monday. Sorry I can't link it

Hell this thread already had video of the guy in camo on the ground during the shooting while news outlets were still calling him a suspect. Sad.
