A Baton Rouge policeman who was once injured trying to save a toddler from a burning building and recently welcomed a son of his own was one of the three officers killed in a Sunday morning shooting.

A cousin and family friend said Sunday that Montrell Jackson, 32, a 10-year-veteran of the Police Department was one of the officers killed.

Marcus Brown, a cousin of Jackson's, described him as a "great police officer" who never complained about his job, even though he had been working extra hours of late. He said Jackson was the father of a little boy named Mason, who is about four months old.

"He was just a good person in general," said Brown, the boy's godfather.
