The scene is “contained,” authorities told the AP.
Several police officers were shot in Baton Rouge, Sgt. Don Coppola told WFAB, a local TV affiliate.

He didn't know the extent of the injuries, and said some members of the sheriff's department may have been injured.
An employee at Albertsons, a grocery store in a small strip mall across the highway from where the shooting took place, said that no one in the store realized what had happened until a customer came in and told them that shots had been fired on the other side of the high way.
“By that time a lot of police cars were there already,” the employee, who asked to not be named, told BuzzFeed News. He said the police came in shortly after and asked them to keep everyone in the store. They have been on lockdown for around 30 minutes, but that most people have “stayed pretty calm,” he said.
