worldUpdated: Sep 13, 2020 16:14 ISTThe shooting of two Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputies in an apparent ambush prompted a manhunt for the shooter, reaction from the president and protests outside the hospital where the wounded deputies were being treated Saturday night in California. The deputies were shot while sitting in their patrol car at a Metro rail station and were able to radio for help, the sheriff said. The department shared video of the shooting in a Twitter post showing a person open fire through the passenger-side window of the patrol car. “The gunman walked up on the deputies and opened fire without warning or provocation,” the department stated. The incident happened around 7 pm a short distance from the Compton sheriff’s station.
