On July 17, 2016, Gavin Eugene Long shot six police officers in Baton Rouge, Louisiana in an ambush attack,[9] in the wake of the shooting of Alton Sterling. Four died, including one who was critically wounded and died from complications in 2022, and two others were hospitalized; of the officers who initially died, two were members of the Baton Rouge Police Department, while the third worked for the East Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff's Office.[10] Long, who associated himself with organizations linked to black separatism and the sovereign citizen movement,[11] was shot and killed by a SWAT officer during a shootout with police at the scene.
