BATON ROUGE - Mayor-President Sid Edwards ordered flags at city-parish government facilities to fly half-staff on Friday in honor of officers killed in a 2016 ambush.

Corporal Montrell Jackson, Officer Matthew Gerald, and Deputy Brad Garafola were killed in the ambush; Sergeant Nick Tullier, who was struck in the head by gunfire during the encounter, would die in 2022. 

"This anniversary is a reminder of the extraordinary courage and sacrifice of the officers who gave their lives protecting Baton Rouge," Mayor-President Sid Edwards said. "Our city will be forever grateful for their service."
