The six Baton Rouge, Louisiana, police officers killed or wounded in an attack on Sunday morning ranged from a newcomer to the force to veteran officers, officials said, in the latest mass shooting to afflict a U.S. city.

Three officers died and a fourth was fighting for his life after the attack by a suspect who opened fire on them in Louisiana's capital city.
