Baton Rouge Shooting: 3 Officers Dead;
Shooter was Missouri Man, Sources Say
By Steve Visser, CNN
The town’s businesses also leveraged the Kinetic
Mesh network by allowing their own security cameras to tie into the common network, creating an
open architecture that can help in the event of a
crime.
One clear example of how the small town saw the
investment pay off came after a crime committed in
February 2015, in which a man assaulted a woman
and fled the scene. The incident was captured on a
CacheCrumb, a high-definition edge video processor node located on a nearby utility pole camera.
The video could not have been altered or tampered
with in any way due to the innate security of the
Kinetic Mesh network, and was able to be used as
evidence in the court case.
Many municipalities and cities face the same budget and staff constraints as Media. Implementing a
scalable, mobile solution that is highly secure and
allows access to the latest data can help local governments make more informed decisions, provide
better emergency operations and ensure safety for
its citizens.

Montrell Jackson, Matthew Gerald and Brad Garafola are the names of the three law enforcement
officers killed Sunday morning in the shootout in
Baton Rouge, according to sources close to the
department and corroborated with social media
posts. Jackson’s aunt confirmed his death earlier.
A Missouri man ambushed and killed three law officers and wounded three others in Baton Rouge
on Sunday during a time when police nationwide
and in the Louisiana city in particular have been on
high alert after five officers were killed in a Dallas
ambush July 7.
Louisiana State Police announced last week that
they had received credible threats of lethal plots
against Baton Rouge police and had arrested three
men and a 13-year-old boy.
On Sunday, a man identified as Gavin Long of Kansas City went on a shooting rampage on his 29th
birthday that left two police officers and a sheriff’s
deputy dead, police sources said. Long, who was
African-American, was a former Marine who spent
time in Iraq and was discharged at the rank of sergeant in 2010, according to the U.S. military.
Police have not released the names of the victims
but one was identified by family members as Officer Montrell Jackson, according to Jackson’s aunt.
