LOUISIANA — Two Baton Rouge Police Officers were shot Sunday afternoon, one fatally.<\/p>\n

The incident unfolded on Conrad Drive as police were attempting to locate a homicide suspect. When officers approached the home, the suspect opened fire—striking the two officers.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The suspect, 36-year-old Ronnie Caddo, was taken into custody alive after an hours long standoff. Caddo was wanted for killing an unnamed relative earlier in the day, WAFB<\/a> reported.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The deceased office was a 22-year veteran of the force and the second officer has served for 7 years–neither have been identified.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Video streamed live on Facebook captured gunfire and a chaotic scene.<\/p>\n
