Update: One male deputy and one female deputy were ambushed as they sat in their patrol vehicle. Both sustained multiple gunshot wounds and are in critical condition. They are both currently undergoing surgery. The suspect is still at large.
BREAKING: Two LASD Transit Security Bureau deputies have been shot at the Compton PAX station. I’m told by LASD that both were shot in the head by a male who got off a bus, then fled. Both hospitalized, Sheriff Villanueva at hospital now. @FOXLA
UPDATE: LASD sources tell me both deputies were in their vehicle when they were both shot in the head and that this was a “straight ambush”. LASD working on suspect info. @FOXLA
I have just been sent surveillance video of the shooting and can confirm it is 100% an ambush. Man slowly creeps up to the vehicle like he’s stalking it, fires shots through the window, then flees the scene. I will not post any of the video until given approval to do so. @FOXLA

Are there riots in LA? If not, I see no reason to send in the feds. If LAPD need help, they can call the FBI. [Reply]

Perhaps he doesn't want it to stop, eh?
He does. When they refuse federal help not much he can do.
Unless you want actual fascist overreach. Do you want that? [Reply]

No - it is OUR America. I notice that no matter the discussion, you always seem to be on the other side of it. Hell, we could be discussion rain showers and you would want more droughts....

Sorry, just using Trump's own words against him. [Reply]
