Hundreds honor Louisiana deputy who ‘went down fighting'

Hundreds of people lined up Saturday to pay their respects to the family of a Louisiana sheriff’s deputy killed by a gunman six days earlier. Deputy Brad Garafola and two other Baton Rouge police officers were killed outside a convenience store less than a mile from police headquarters. The shootings came at a time of racial tension in the city and country after a black man was shot and killed during a confrontation with two white police officers outside a convenience store. The day after that, a black gunman in Dallas opened fire during a protest against the Minnesota and Baton Rouge shootings, and killed five police officers. Garafola’s boss, East Baton Rouge Sheriff Sid Gautreaux, described to reporters how he could see Garafola on surveillance video, firing at the gunman as bullets hit the concrete around him.
