Baton Rouge shootings: Obama calls for calm after three police officers killed...

President Obama has called for restraint after three police officers were shot dead in the city of Baton Rouge in Louisiana.

The gunman, an African-American who had served for five years in the Marines, was also killed.

Tensions in the city have been high since a black man Alton Sterling was shot dead by police two weeks ago.

It remains unclear whether Sunday's incident was related to that death and a second police killing in Minnesota.

Those two deaths sparked protests across the United States and triggered a revenge attack by a black army veteran who shot dead five officers in the city of Dallas. Full story...
