Officer Montrell Jackson was the first man identified (as Nina wrote about yesterday, who left behind a wife and baby son, and an incredibly heartbreaking Facebook post after the Dallas shootings), and by Sunday night, the other two men had been identified as well.

Baton Rouge police department identified two of the slain officers as Montrell Jackson and Matthew Gerald.

Jackson, 32, served on the force for 10 years and had a 4-month-old child, while Gerald, 41, served for less than a year.

The third slain cop was identified by the East Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff’s office as Brad Garafola.

Casey Rayborn Hicks told The Associated Press Sunday that the slain deputy was 45-years-old and had been with the sheriff’s office for 24 years.

Hicks also identified the injured sheriff’s deputies as 41-year-old Nicholas Tullier an 18-year veteran, and 51-year-old Bruce Simmons, a 23-year veteran.

Hicks says that Tullier is in critical condition while Simmons has non-life threatening injuries.
