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.
