#lagov on the shooting of law enforcement officers in Baton Rouge today:

My thoughts and prayers are with the Baton Rouge police officers who have been targeted in this brazen attack on law enforcement.

Slain BR officer Matthew Gerald was army veteran. Former Black Hawk pilot. #RIP #BlueLivesMatter #BRshooting #BRmassacre

RIP Deputy Brad Garafola. #BRshooting #BRMassacre #BlueLivesMatter

All three officers killed in Baton Rouge today identified. 2wsb.tv/29MC8yW

Tough day in Louisiana. Just a few more minutes until Jim Gaffigan makes me laugh.

#RIP #BatonRouge Sheriff's Deputy Brad Garafola & Officers Matthew Gerald and Montrell Jackson.

JUST NOW: Mayor Kip Holden tells me his "gut instinct" is that killer was working w/ someone in Baton Rouge. No proof yet. (2/2) @THISHOUR

"Unity" seems to be the word of the day here in Louisiana. I guess easier said than done. #sadtimes
