At least three law officers are dead and others wounded at a Baton Rouge convenience store. A suspect also has been killed. Search is on for other suspects in what early reports are calling an ambush. 

UPDATE: Details remain sketchy in mid-afternoon but authorities now appear to believe the dead suspect acted alone. Shooting seems to have begun around the time of a response to a man carrying a military style rifle.
