BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Three officers are confirmed dead and three others wounded after a shooting in Baton Rouge, a sheriff's office spokeswoman said Sunday. One suspect is dead and law enforcement officials believe two others are still at large, the spokeswoman said.
Casey Rayborn Hicks, a spokeswoman for the East Baton Rouge Sheriff's Office, said in a statement that the public should call 911 immediately if they see anything suspicious.
The shooting — which happened just before 9 a.m., less than 1 mile from police headquarters — comes amid spiraling tensions across the city — and the country — between the black community and police. The races of the suspect or suspects and the officers were not immediately known.
Baton Rouge Police Sgt. Don Coppola told The Associated Press earlier that the officers were rushed to a local hospital. Coppola said authorities are asking people to stay away from the area.
Multiple police units were stationed at Our Lady of the Lake Regional Medical Center, where stricken officers were believed to be undergoing treatment at a trauma center. A police officer with a long gun was blocking the parking lot at the emergency room.
Officers and deputies from the Baton Rouge Police Department and East Baton Rouge Sheriff's Office were involved, according to Hicks.
An Associated Press reporter on the scene saw police vehicles with lights flashing massed about a half mile from the police headquarters on Airline Highway. Police armed with long guns on the road stopped at least two vehicles driving away from the scene and checked their trunks and vehicles before allowing them to drive away.
Police-community relations in Baton Rouge have been especially tense since the killing of 37-year-old Alton Sterling, a black man killed by white officers earlier this month after a scuffle at a convenience store. The killing was captured on cellphone video and circulated widely on the internet.
It was followed a day later by the shooting death of another black man in Minnesota, whose girlfriend livestreamed the aftermath of his death on Facebook. Then on Thursday, a black gunman in Dallas opened fire on police at a protest about the police shootings, killing five officers and heightening tensions even further.

Over the weekend, thousands of people took to the streets in Baton Rouge to condemn Sterling's death, including hundreds of demonstrators who congregated outside the police station. Authorities arrested about 200 people over the three-day weekend.
Michelle Rogers, 56, said the pastor at her church had led prayers Sunday for Sterling's family and police officers, asking members of the congregation to stand up if they knew an officer.
Rogers said an officer in the congregation hastily left the church near the end of the service, and a pastor announced that "something had happened."
"But he didn't say what. Then we started getting texts about officers down," she said.
Rogers and her husband drove near the scene, but were blocked at an intersection closed down by police.

Kanye tweeted just after midnight that the show was sold out, but that didn't stop an estimated 4,000 people from showing up at a venue that only holds 1,500.
TheNew York Daily News reports that a line stretched for two blocks with fans chanting "Pablo," "Kanye" and "Back of the Line" to anyone who tried cutting in.
Every time a few concert goers were allowed in the rest of the crowd tried to bum rush the doors, creating a dangerous atmosphere.
Webster Hall's management deemed the situation too dangerous and cancelled the event.
The crowd outside turned into a mob as people stood on cars and refused to leave.
"A mob of people were rushing the doors and jumping on cars,"Danielle Jones, a New York University student told the Daily News. Her friends described the following for West like it was a "cult."
Kim Kardashian's snapchat showed Kanye West asking to make a call to Mayor de Blasio for his show.
West spoke to those waiting outside when he showed up at 2 a.m. He attempted to get Webster Hall to open the doors by trying to have someone call New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio. That was a no-go.
At 10:15 p.m. Wednesday, the rapper T.I. was about to take the stage at the 1,025-person ballroom-style music venue when the shooting began.
It's not yet known how many people were inside the building at 17 Irving Place during the shooting.
Troy Ave, 30, whose real name is Roland Collins, was the first person shot. He was hit in the leg and is expected to recover. He was taken to the hospital.
A 33-year-old man was shot in the stomach and pronounced dead at Beth Israel Hospital. A 34-year-old man was shot in the chest and is stable at Bellevue Hospital.
A 26-year-old woman also was shot in the leg and was taken to Bellevue in stable condition.
No arrests were made.
The shooting is not believed to be connected to TI, who left the green room before the shots were fired. But an appearance scheduled for later in the night at another club, 1 Oak, was canceled and police closed the club for a period.
Rappers Maino and Uncle Murda were performing when the shooting started. The New York City Police Department is looking into whether the shooting was linked to a dispute between crews linked to Maino and Troy Ave.
There were metal detectors for T.I. concert-goers at Irving Plaza. All the people in the green room were credentialed, and it is possible the suspect was also credentialed.
Detectives will interview everyone who was in the green room at the time of the shooting and look at video footage from inside and outside the venue. They are canvasing nearby businesses for video. Ballistics were recovered from the green room area.
This new video is starting to gain a lot of buzz in nyc and it isn't hard to see why ..... it has stood out from what usually is being put out in the city . With the production also made by him he's gained the advantage to make his own sound he goes by the name of Jaye R!
From what started out as a hobby in the basement of his house to gaining a following and credible potential to make it big. it shows that all it takes is determination and smart plays.
At the age of 15 and up hitting up events and networking his brand (even if it meant going alone.) From getting turn down ....to a few others reaching back out and seeing the potential he had at such a young age (and that was from a beats stand point) He's gained a track record in the unsigned community of New York. He always had to ability to rap but felt it wasn't the right time to make that extra step. Now he feels it's the perfect time to show the world the full potential of his talent.
Troy Ave was shot in the leg, but is expected to recover. A 26-year old woman was also shot in the leg. She is in stable condition at Bellevue Hospital.
A 34-year old man is in stable condition at Bellevue with a chest wound. The fourth victim, a 33-year old man, died at Beth Israel Hospital from a gunshot wound to the stomach.
Everyone backstage, including the gunman, had credentials to be there.
Police Commissioner Bill Brattonblamed the violence on "gangster rap."
"The crazy world of these so-called rap artists basically celebrates the violence," said Bratton Thursday morning on WCBS AM. "Unfortunately, that violence sometimes manifests itself in their performances and that's exactly what happened last evening. The backgrounds of some of these people, unfortunately the lifestyles they led or had, follows them into the entertainment world. No question a lot of talented artists, enjoy the music. Music all too often celebrates violence, degradation of women and the drug culture. It's unfortunate that some of them, as they get fame and fortune, cannot get out of the life."
According to ABC 7, Bratton added that NYPD detectives "have a pretty good idea of what happened" and should be able to "wrap this up very quickly."

Basketball legend and accomplished business mogul, Magic Johnson, wasn't much of a trash talker when he played in the NBA. He preferred to let his skills do the talking for him.
However, during a recent appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Magic, talked about the only time he verbally challenged his friend Michael Jordan and watching him 360 dunk afterwards.
Drake is celebrating two big accomplishments this week.
His "Views" album moved an impressive 1.04 million equivalent album units for the week ending May 5. The number for traditional sales came in at 852,000, which will be good enough to overtake Beyonce's"Lemonade" disc for number one on the Billboard 200 chart.
Drizzy is probably even more proud of the fact that his song "One Dance" featuring WizKid and Kyla has pushed past Desiigner's"Panda" to claim the top spot on the Billboard Hot 100, giving the Toronto native his first number one single as a lead artist, according to Billboard.
