US President Barack Obama called for unity following the fatal shooting of three police officers in Baton Rouge during a press conference in Washington DC on Sunday. Addressing the recent police deaths in Dallas , the president said that "five days ago I travelled to Dallas for the memorial service of the officers who were slain there. I said that, that killer would not be the last person who tries to make us turn on each other nor will today's killer. It remains up to us to make sure that they fail."
Louisiana State Police confirmed that at least three police officers were killed in a shooting in Baton Rouge in Louisiana on Sunday, with State Governor John Bel Edwards calling it an "unspeakable and unjustified attack."

Former US President George W. Bush raised eyebrows after footage captured him swaying and dancing during a memorial service in Dallas on Tuesday. The sombre event was held to honour the five police officers killed in the Dallas shootings last week, during a protest against the police killing of African-Americans Alton Sterling and Philando Castile. During a rendition of 'The Battle Hymn of the Republic,' the former president, holding Michelle Obama's hand on one side - and his wife Laura's on the other, swayed to the music.
