BATON ROUGE, LA.—A Louisiana police officer shot and killed a black man during a confrontation outside a Baton Rouge convenience store, authorities said, prompting hundreds to protest at the site where the man died. An online video that surfaced purporting to show the killing of Alton Sterling, 37, of Baton Rouge on Tuesday added to protesters’ outrage. Gun!” and then one officer on top of the man can be seen pulling his weapon from his holster. But the appearance of the store in the video matches the front of convenience store where the shooting occurred. “He helped a lot of people.” An autopsy shows Sterling died of multiple gunshot wounds to the chest and back, East Baton Rouge Parish Coroner Dr. William Clark said.
