A law enforcement official said investigators found a copy of an Adolf Hitler speech in the home of a 23-year-old white man arrested on Tuesday and accused of killing two black men and firing on a black family. The number of homicides in East Baton Rouge Parish has already surpassed last year’s total of 62, the Advocate newspaper reported earlier this month. “Baton Rouge has been through a lot of turmoil in the last year,” the police chief said. About two weeks later, a black gunman targeted police in an ambush, killing three officers and wounding three before he was shot dead. He had transferred to LSU from Baton Rouge Community College.
