5A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • MONDAY, JULY 18, 2016 Gunman who killed three was ‘seeking out’ oficers By MIKE KUNZELMAN and MELINDA DESLATTE Associated Press AP Photo/Ross D. Franklin BATON ROUGE, La. — A former Marine dressed in black and carrying extra ammuni- tion set out to ambush police in Baton Rouge, authorities said Monday, a day after three law enforcement oficers were killed in the attack. The gunman’s “movements, his direction, his attention was on police oficers,” state police Col. Mike Edmonson said. He would not elaborate but said the shooter was deinitely “seeking out” police. Three other oficers were wounded Sunday, one criti- cally. The gunman was identi- ied as Gavin Long of Kansas City, Missouri, who was black. He turned 29 on the day of the ambush and was killed in a gun battle with police. In online posts, a man using an alias of Long’s said protests alone do not work, and that peo- ple must ight back after the deaths of black men at the hands of police. Documents show that Long sought to change his name last year to Cosmo Setepenra. A website using that name links to online books about nutrition, self-awareness and empower- ment. The man describes him- self as a “freedom strategist, mental game coach, nutritionist, author and spiritual advisor.” In a video posted July 10, the person making the post says he’s speaking from Dallas after ive police oficers were fatally shot there during a protest of the deaths of black men in encoun- ters with law enforcement. The man also discusses protests in Baton Rouge and what he per- ceived as oppression. He says: “You’ve got to ight back. That’s the only way a bully knows to quit.” In an ear- lier video, the man says that if anything ever happens to him, he doesn’t want to be linked to any groups and mentioned once belonging to Nation of Islam. In documents seeking the name change, Long also referred to himself as a mem- ber of a black separatist group known as the Washitaw Nation. Reverberations The attack unfolded less than two weeks after Baton Rouge Deborah Paddison pauses as she stands in her office as she works from her home while she recovers from her latest orthopedic surgery Friday in Phoenix. As re- viled as it may be, “Obamacare” has changed the na- tion in ways that many people wouldn’t want reversed. It means no one has to worry about being denied cov- erage due to medical problems. With millions already covered, ‘repeal and replace’ gets riskier By RICARDO ALONSO-ZALDIVAR Associated Press Curtis Compton/Atlanta Journal-Constitution Millville Police Chaplain Bob Ossler prays and weeps with a local resident as she places flowers on a memorial at the B-Quik gas station on Monday, in Baton Rouge, a day after a shooting at the scene that killed and wounded multiple police officers. police fatally shot a black man in a confrontation that reverber- ated nationwide. Edmonson also conirmed that investigators have inter- viewed people with whom the shooter had contact in Baton Rouge. He would not say how many or give details and stressed that the interviews do not mean that those people were involved in the shooting. He urged any- one else with information about Long to come forward. The shooting less than a mile from police headquarters added to the tensions across the coun- try between the black commu- nity and police. It was the fourth high-proile deadly encounter in the United States involving police over the past two weeks. In all, the violence has cost the lives of eight oficers, including those in Baton Rouge, and two civilians and sparked a national debate over race and policing. Long served in the Marines from 2005 to 2010, reaching the rank of sergeant. He deployed to Iraq from June 2008 to Jan- uary 2009, according to military records. While in the military, Long was awarded several medals, including one for good conduct, and received an honorable dis- charge. His occupational exper- tise was listed as “data network specialist.” Although he was believed to be the only person who ired at oficers, authorities were inves- tigating whether he had any help. “We are not ready to say he acted alone,” state police spokesman Major Doug Cain said Sunday. On Monday morning, busi- nesses around the shooting scene began to reopen. Custom- ers bought coffee and breakfast sandwiches at a B-Quik conve- nience store. Next door, work- ers prepared for the day at a car wash where the gunman had been cornered. Buildings at the scene were scarred with at least eight appar- ent bullet marks. Investigators examined a hole in a window at a itness-supply business, and wood covered another window that was shot out. Long attended classes at the University of Alabama for one semester in the spring of 2012. A school spokesman said uni- versity police had no interac- tions with him. He was also briely enrolled at Clark Atlanta University during the 2012-13 academic year, the school said. Long sought to change his name last year in a document iled in May 2015 with the recorder of deeds in Jackson County, Missouri. He also said he was a member of the Washi- taw de Dugdahmoundyah, or the Washitaw Nation. The group describes itself as a sovereign Native Ameri- can nation composed of blacks descended from ancestors who settled in North Ameri- can before Columbus, accord- ing to the Southern Poverty Law Center. The name-change document ends: “Standing irm on the Ancient Principles of, LOVE, TRUTH, PEACE, FREEDOM AND JUSTICE.” Gunire The shooting began at a gas station where, according to radio trafic, police answered a report of a man with an assault rile and were met by gun- ire. For several long minutes, they did not know where it was coming from. The radio exchanges were made public Sunday by the website Broadcastify. The recording lasts about 17 minutes and includes urgent calls for an armored personnel carrier called a BearCat. From his window, Joshua Godwin said he saw the suspect, who was dressed in black with a ski mask, combat boots and extra bullets. He appeared to be running “from an altercation.” Of the two oficers who sur- vived the shooting, one was hos- pitalized in critical condition, and the other was in fair condi- tion. Another oficer was being treated for non-life-threatening injuries, hospital oficials said. WASHINGTON — As Republicans gather to anoint their presidential ticket in Cleveland, uncompromising opposition to “Obamacare” is getting politically riskier. Few people were cov- ered under President Barack Obama’s health care law when the GOP held its last convention in 2012. Now, Donald Trump’s plan to replace the program would make 18 million people unin- sured, according to a recent nonpartisan analysis. Reviled as it may be, Obama’s law has changed the nation in ways that many may not want reversed. It means people don’t have to worry about being denied cover- age due to medical problems, or fear policies that max out while a patient is undergoing chemotherapy. Millions who couldn’t afford health insur- ance now have inancial help. Capturing the White House would inally let Republicans make good on their vow “repeal and replace” the health care law. But ripping apart the social safety net would be politi- cally self-defeating, a new dilemma for the GOP. “I don’t think they can credibly do ‘repeal’ until they have a solid legislative pro- posal to replace it,” said Lan- hee Chen, policy director for the 2012 Mitt Romney pres- idential campaign. “Polit- ically, you can’t really do LISTINGS M ONDAY E VENING A (2) (-) (-) (6) (-) (8) (9) (10) (12) (13) (-) (20) (-) (29) (30) (31) (32) (34) (35) (36) (38) (39) (43) (44) (45) (46) (47) (48) (49) (50) (51) (52) (53) (54) (56) (57) (58) (61) (63) (64) (65) (162) L KATU KOMO KING KOIN KIRO KGW KRCW KOPB KPTV KPDX KCPQ TBS KZJO ESPN ESPN2 NICK DISN FAM FMC LIFE ROOT FS1 SPIKE COM HIST A&E TLC DISC NGEO TNT AMC USA FOOD HGTV FX CNN FNC CNBC BRAV TCM SYFY RFD (2) (4) (5) (-) (7) (-) (3) (10) (12) (-) (13) (20) (22) (29) (30) (31) (32) (34) (35) (36) (38) (39) (43) (44) (45) (46) (47) (48) (49) (50) (51) (52) (53) (54) (56) (57) (58) (61) (63) (64) (65) (162) 6 PM ‘repeal’ without the ‘replace’ coming in right behind it.” Trump “has made some vague pronouncements, but that’s not a plan,” he added. A framework Many conservatives are hoping House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., will have the answer. Ryan has put together a framework for a replace- ment plan, and he’s trying to build GOP consensus. A Pres- ident Trump would do every- thing he could administra- tively to unwind the health care law, while Congress would take on the main work of repealing it and designing an alternative. “He is going to rely heav- ily on the Republican House and the Republican Senate to put substantive bills on his desk,” said Sen. John Bar- rasso, R-Wyo., chair of the GOP platform committee. Even with Ryan’s policy expertise, that scenario is also illed with uncertainty. If Republicans can keep the Senate, they’re not expected to have a 60-vote majority that would allow them to ram through legisla- tion. They might have to scale back their health care aspira- tions from the start. Possible outcomes could shift from full repeal to rescinding parts of the law that Democrats don’t much like either, such as its tax on high-value insurance plans, the employer coverage requirement, and a Medicare cost-control board. Call that “repeal lite.” Evening listings MONDAY A - Charter Astoria/ Seaside - L - Charter Long Beach 6:30 7 PM 7:30 8 PM 8:30 9 PM 9:30 10 PM 10:30 11 PM J ULY 18 11:30 KATU News at 6 2016 Republican Convention (L) The Bachelorette (N) Wheel of Fortune Jeopardy!
