On Saturday, as RedState reported, Los Angeles County Sheriff's Deputy Ryan Clinkunbroomer was ambushed and shot in the head while sitting in his patrol car, stopped at a traffic light just down the street from the Palmdale station house. Deputy Clinkunbroomer ultimately succumbed to his injuries.
Following the shooting, Los Angeles County Sheriff Robert Luna gave a press conference in which he shared his belief that it had been a targeted shooting and asked for the public's assistance in identifying and locating the suspect(s).
It is now being reported that an arrest has been made regarding the shooting.
Sources close to the investigation revealed to Fox News on Monday morning that an arrest has been made this morning. Another source told Fox News that a person of interest was identified Sunday and then taken into custody by the sheriff department's Special Enforcement Bureau tactical team.
Police last night announced a reward of $250,000 for information leading to an arrest in the case.
No further details regarding the individual taken into custody have been released at this time.
A press conference has been set for 10:30 AM at the sheriff's station.
As this is a developing story, RedState will provide further updates as they become available.
Have they released him yet?
Do we have to ask?
Just read elsewhere that a family member turned the shooter in.
Feral descendant of the 1849 Gold rushers I’m thinking.
Cover-up begins 3-2-1...

$250k reward will do that..............
How does one get shot like this in the back of the head, unless he had the window rolled down. Otherwise, is not the glass bullet-proof?
Not bullet-proof.
Surprise attack......................
The whores in '51,
And when they got together
They produced the native son.
Hi Red! Did they ever catch that Pennsylvania fugitive? I thought I heard that the dogs bit him up?
I wrote this yesterday on another thread.

I’m sure the deputy was a good deputy, but they’ll look hard into his past. The video almost looks like a planned hit or payback on a specific individual/deputy. It wouldn’t be the first time.
Looking close, the dark colored suspect vehicle came into view behind the patrol vehicle fast, as if that was their target and couldn’t lose him. Suspect vehicle stops behind him and almost without hesitation quickly changes lanes and pulls up to the drivers side rear passenger door area of the patrol vehicle, not quite even with the deputy’s driver door window. Just as fast the deputy is shot, and the suspect vehicle is gone. This happened within a couple short seconds. This seems to indicate the shooter had his weapon loaded at the ready. They were really ready, like on a mission.
It could have been random, but looking at the video, the way it happened, very fast and everything was ready to go. We’ll see.
I don’t believe this article said the back of the head, it just said shot in the head. However looking at the video it appears the shooter possibly shot through the patrol vehicles driver side rear passenger window.
Yes, he was hiding under a pile of leaves......................
Is it them again Yogi?
?? The average police cruiser does not have bullet proof glass.
