Two Los Angeles sheriff’s deputies were “fighting for their lives” on Saturday night after being shot multiple times in an ambush-style attack. The suspect was still at-large late Saturday.
One male officer and one female officer were injured in the shooting, which took place at about 7 p.m. local time.
Surveillance footage of the scene released by authorities shows a man walking up to the car on the passenger side and firing several times “without warning or provocation,” said an earlier statement from the LASD. The suspect immediately fled on foot.
The shooter hadn’t been apprehended as of late Saturday.
The LA Sheriff’s Department said both officers were undergoing surgery at about 8 p.m. local time.
The shooting happened near the Metro station in Compton, according to officials.❐
