– Authorities searched Sunday for a gunman who shot and critically wounded two Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputies who were sitting in their squad car—an apparent ambush that drew a reward for information and an angry response from the president. The 31-year-old female deputy and 24-year-old male deputy underwent surgery Saturday evening, Sheriff Alex Villanueva said in a late-night news conference. The department tweeted video of the shooting that shows a person approach the parked patrol car on foot and shoot through the passenger-side window. “The gunman walked up on the deputies and opened fire without warning or provocation,” the department stated. An extended version of the video reviewed by the Los Angeles Times shows the shooter running away in the direction he came. He turns a corner out of the frame, past a second figure lingering on the sidewalk, according to the Times. It’s unclear if the second person was involved in the attack. The deputies were shot while sitting in their patrol car at a Metro rail station, the sheriff said. The deputies were shot while sitting in their squad car at a Metro rail station, the sheriff said. Villanueva, whose department has been criticized during recent protests over racial unrest, expressed frustration during his Saturday night briefing over anti-police sentiment as he urged people to pray for the deputies. “It pisses me off. It dismays me at the same time,” he said.
