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
A $100,000 reward was offered Sunday in the hunt for a gunman who brazenly walked up to a parked patrol SUV and shot two Los Angeles County sheriff's deputies multiple times in what officials described as an ambush-style attack.
Both sheriff's deputies were initially "fighting for their lives" at St. Francis Medical Center in Los Angeles following the Saturday night shooting outside a Metro train station in Compton. On Sunday, a senior Los Angeles County sheriff's official told ABC News the deputies are expected to survive.
"That was a cowardly act," Sheriff Alex Villanueva said during a news conference on Saturday night. "The two deputies were doing their job, minding their own business, watching out for the safety of the people on the train. To see somebody just walk up and start shooting on them. It pisses me off. It dismays me at the same time. There's no pretty way to say it."
One of the wounded law enforcement officers, a 31-year-old mother of a 6-year-old boy, was shot in the jaw and arms and is listed in critical but stable condition, according to the senior sheriff's officials.
Her 24-year-old partner suffered gunshot wounds to his forehead, arms and a hand, but was alert, the official said.
Both deputies underwent surgery about 8 p.m. Saturday, officials said. [Reply]

This is the key to Trump and I will NEVER understand it. Trump wins by making NeverTrumpers, liberals and the Trotskyite's TALK ABOUT HIM...And for some reason these boneheads always take the bait and fulfill the free-media cycle. And they're doing it again...Trump pardoned a Woman Rights activist and the Womens Rights Activests melted down all over twitter which provided FREE MEDIA to Trump on the Socials. [Reply]

I said early on, and it just gets stronger every day, it's largely not about Trump, but what his opposition reveals about themselves in the course of opposing him. [Reply]

Then that is all you really needed to say. Most of the sane world agrees with you on that. [Reply]

It seems like a complicated thing to pull off and something a professional media could easily counter. But yet they never do and Trump just gets more air time. And at this point there's not even news anymore. It's just Trump Hate. [Reply]

No he doesn’t, you still need consent of State. Last time it was used for domestic unrest was 1992 at the request of Pete Wilson, Governor of California.
Your boy Bushie tried doing that during that after Hurricane Katrina and Louisiana Governor rejected it. Setting up an amendment to the act where military can intervene without consent. All Governors rejected it and it was repealed in 2008. [Reply]

He's a genius.
He completely exposes how insane the far-left radicals are.
And that's all he needs to win re-election. [Reply]
