The Baton Rouge, Louisiana police have fired Blane Salamoni, the officer who fatally shot Alton Sterling in 2016. Salamoni’s partner Howie Lake II was given a three-day suspension. The decision comes after Louisiana authorities declined to press criminal charges against the officers in the death of the 37-year-old African-American. Protests over the shooting culminated in an attack on Baton Rouge police that left three officers dead and three more wounded in July 2016.
