Surveillance video of the ambush shooting of two Los Angeles County Sheriff Deputies in Compton Saturday night has been posted by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department. The video shows the attacker sneaking up from the passenger side of the deputies’ car and firing. As the shooter runs away the passenger door is opened.
The shooter is very short, not as tall as the roof of the squad car, indicating that this ambush could very well have been done by a child.
The deputies were reported to have been shot multiple times, including in the head, and are “fighting for their lives” in surgery.

“NEW: LASD announces both deputies are in fact, still alive. 14 homicide detectives are on scene. Very generic suspect description of a dark skinned male, per one of the deputies. Video was from a fish eye lens which potentially distorts suspect’s height…NEW: Sheriff Villanueva says one deputy is a 31 year old mom of a 6 year old boy, other is 24 year old male. Says both deputies are out of surgery with multiple gun shot wounds & critical. Says this is now a growing trend of police being targeted in current climate.”

Nice shooting. Hope it continues. Much better than defunding.

Any one who supports police defunding and shooting of police officers is a _ucking idiot.
