2 incidents in usa when five police were killed shreveport and maybe dallas
The two prominent US incidents involving the deaths of five police
officers occurred in Dallas, Texas (2016) and New Orleans, Louisiana
(1973). While Shreveport, Louisiana was not the site of a five-officer
fatality event, it was frequently mentioned in news cycles alongside
the Dallas tragedy because the Dallas shooter was motivated by a
high-profile police shooting that had occurred in Louisiana. [1, 2]
The 2016 Dallas Police Ambush
On July 7, 2016, a lone sniper ambushed law enforcement officers at
the conclusion of a peaceful protest in downtown Dallas. [1, 2]
The Incident: A heavily armed gunman, angry over recent police
shootings of Black men, targeted white police officers.
The Casualties: Five law enforcement officers were killed (four from
the Dallas Police Department and one from Dallas Area Rapid Transit).
Nine other officers and two civilians were wounded.
The Resolution: Following a tense standoff inside an El Centro College
building, police deployed a remote-controlled robot carrying
explosives to neutralize the shooter. [1, 2, 3, 4]
The 1973 New Orleans Sniper Attacks
Your mention of a second incident in Louisiana likely refers to the
Mark James Essex sniper attacks in New Orleans between December 1972
and January 1973. [1, 2]
The Incident: A former Navy serviceman and member of the Black
Panthers launched a series of targeted attacks against law
enforcement. The final standoff took place at a downtown Howard
Johnson hotel.
The Casualties: The gunman killed a total of nine people, including
five police officers.
The Resolution: Police utilized a military helicopter to fly
sharpshooters over the hotel roof, ultimately killing the suspect. [1,
2]
Why Shreveport is Linked in Memory
Shreveport is situated in northwest Louisiana, a state that was a
major focal point during the July 2016 timeline. Just two days before
the Dallas ambush, the fatal police shooting of Alton Sterling
occurred in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The national media attention
surrounding Louisiana at that exact moment often causes people to
conflate the different cities involved in the 2016 timeline. [1, 2, 3]
If you are looking for specific records, I can find the names of the
fallen officers or pull up the official investigative reports for
either of these historic cases.

You said: multi police killed in lousiaina
The most prominent modern incident where multiple police officers were
killed in Louisiana is the 2016 Baton Rouge police ambush, which
resulted in the deaths of four law enforcement officers. [1, 2]
2016 Baton Rouge Police Ambush
On July 17, 2016, a lone gunman ambushed law enforcement officers
outside a convenience store on Airline Highway in Baton Rouge. [1, 2]
The Context: The attack occurred less than two weeks after the
high-profile police shooting of Alton Sterling in Baton Rouge, and
just ten days after the ambush in Dallas, Texas that killed five
officers.
The Casualties: Three officers—Montrell Jackson, Matthew Gerald, and
Deputy Brad Garafola—died at the scene. A fourth officer, Deputy
Nicholas Tullier, survived the initial shooting with catastrophic
injuries but passed away from complications in 2022. Two other
officers were wounded.
The Shooter: Gavin Eugene Long, a military veteran from Missouri with
ties to anti-government sovereign citizen and black separatist
ideologies, was shot and killed by a SWAT officer. [1, 2, 3, 5]
2012 St. John the Baptist Parish Shootings
Another notable multi-fatality incident involving Louisiana law
enforcement took place on August 16, 2012, in St. John the Baptist
Parish, near New Orleans. [1, 2]
The Incident: Deputies investigating an initial workplace shooting
tracked a vehicle to a local trailer park, where they were ambushed by
suspects armed with an AK-47.
The Casualties: Two deputies were killed (Brandon Nielsen and Jeremy
Triche) and two others were wounded.
The Suspects: The perpetrators were linked to the sovereign citizen
movement. Seven people were arrested, and primary shooter Kyle David
Joekel was later convicted and sentenced to death. [1, 2]
1973 Howard Johnson Standoff (New Orleans)
As noted previously, the deadliest single-incident targeting of law
enforcement officers in state history happened during the Mark James
Essex sniper attacks. Over a multi-week span culminating at a downtown
hotel on January 7, 1973, a lone sniper killed five New Orleans police
officers along with four civilians before being killed by police
sharpshooters in a military helicopter. [1]
If you want to look further into a specific case, I can pull up the
investigative conclusions, detail the histories of the shooters, or
find information on historical line-of-duty statistics for Louisiana.
