Faces of 2 of the police officers killed in Baton Rouge

Two of the dead police officers have also been identified as Montrell Jackson, 32, (The black man pictured on the left) a new father and ten-year veteran of the force, and Matthew Gerald, 41, a former Marine who had joined the Baton Rouge police force a year ago.

Jackson, 32, who welcomed a son less than a year ago, celebrated his ten-year anniversary with the Baton Rouge Police Department just last month and was once injured helping to save a toddler from a burning building, The Advocate reports.

Meanwhile Gerald was a married father-of-two who had been working on his own for just 12 days before he was gunned down on Sunday morning.
