Hillary Clinton Statement on Shooting of Police Officers in Baton Rouge

After news that three police officers had been killed and several others wounded in a shooting in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Hillary Clinton issued the following statement:

"Today's devastating assault on police officers in Baton Rouge is an assault on all of us. There is no justification for violence, for hate, for attacks on men and women who put their lives on the line every day in service of our families and communities.

"We must not turn our backs on each other. We must not be indifferent to each other. We must all stand together to reject violence and strengthen our communities. Our thoughts and prayers are with the friends and families of the police officers who were killed and injured today."
