President Obama: Killing of Baton Rouge Cops Was ‘Work of Cowards’

President Barack Obama on Sunday condemned "in the strongest sense of the word" the attack in Baton Rouge that left three police officers dead and another three wounded, calling the assault the "work of cowards."

The president said he has offered his "full support" to federal and local authorities as they investigate what prompted the killings about a half mile from Baton Rouge police headquarters. At least one suspect was killed in a shootout with authorities just before 9 a.m.
