As a manhunt continues for the gunman who ambushed two LASD deputies in Compton, new video shows one deputy helping her partner even as she was bleeding from her own wounds.
As a manhunt continues for the gunman who ambushed two Los Angeles County sheriff's deputies in Compton, new surveillance footage shows how one deputy struggled to help her partner even as she was bleeding from her own wounds.
The two deputies, a 31-year-old woman and a 24-year-old man, were shot Saturday night as they sat in their patrol vehicle near the Metro station in Compton.
Footage shows a man on foot walk up to their vehicle, aim a handgun at the passenger side window and fire off multiple rounds before running away on foot.
Shortly after the shooting, the female deputy can be seen on surveillance video struggling to place a tourniquet on her partner even as she herself is bleeding from gunshot wounds.
"She helped the other wounded deputy, got on the radio, provided medical care, got him to a place of safety 'cause they didn't know if there was another attack coming their way," Sheriff Alex Villanueva said.
Audio captures a frantic call for help from one of the deputies shortly after the shooting.
"I've been shot. Send help," one of the deputies is heard saying in the radio call.
Both deputies incurred multiple gunshot wounds and are recovering from surgery in stable condition at St. Francis Medical Center in Lynwood.
A GoFundMe account has been established by a department deputy working with the union to raise funds for the wounded deputies. The GoFundMe page raised more than $140,000 in its first 24 hours.
Rewards are also being offered to catch the shooter.
The county is offering a $100,000 reward and Sheriff Alex Villanueva said two private donors have stepped up to add another $75,000.
The county Metropolitan Transportation Authority is adding $25,000 to the reward. The deputies were working for Metro's Transit Services Bureau when they were shot. Metro will also place reward notices on A Line trains and at the Compton station.
Villanueva also challenged Laker star LeBron James, who has been outspoken on social-justice issues and the Black Lives Matter movement, to double the reward.
"I know you care about law enforcement,'' Villanueva said. "You expressed a very, very interesting statement about your perspective on race relations and officer-involved shootings and the impact that it has on the African-American community and I appreciate that. But likewise we need to appreciate that respect for life goes across professions across races, creeds, and I'd like to see LeBron James step up to the plate and double that.''
Anyone with information was encouraged to contact the Sheriff's Department's Homicide Bureau at 323-890-5500. Anonymous tips can be left for L.A. Crime Stoppers at 800-222-TIPS (8477).
I BETTER JUST SHUT UP...IM ABOUT TO GO OFF AND USE A CERTAIN WORD AND ILL GET BANNED...
Apparently the Compton Mayor and local news have been whipping up Anti-Po Po sentiment via an “execution gang” story saying thee is an internal LASO squad tasked with harassing and assassinating people of color.
Wow. God bless these two police officers. That appears to be a large loss of blood on the female officer. That’s one tough woman to be still on her feet.
Whoever rats on the shooter should leave the country. Immediately.
That’s rich and a lie. Most law enforcement are minorities.
Were there any Hollywood celebrities contributing to the GoFundMe account, just like they funded the bailout money for looters and rioters and murderers in BLM and Antifa?
And we have seen in many cities, with the recent troubles, the number of these cities have black Chiefs of police.
Which makes one wonder, where is all the racism, if you have black people in charge of the police department?
That’s why it’s more or less spluttered out in Dallas. Most of the government, the DA, the mayor and the police chief are all black. In fact, the local race baiters that normally toy with the BLM line have been completely and conspicuously silent this whole time; they want nothing to do with this and their supporters aren’t going wild either.
There’s an article that says she has changed her tone.
I seem to recall that Hollywood plans on making more anti-police movies following the death of George Floyd and in deference to the BLM movement. They’ve already cancelled some popular pro-police television series.
Both cops looked Hispanic, and yes, there are a lot of “minorities” in law enforcement. But they don’t count because they’re not associate professors in ethnic studies at the local college, and clearly not “down with the struggle” but are just living their lives and being good citizens. So therefore they’re not really Hispanic (or black, or whatever).
Wuss!

Words you will never hear from the media: “Mr. Biden, do you denounce this leftwing extremist violence?”
At the hospital, it was clear that the Deputies weren't going to take any abuse from the harassers.
That’s one tough lady...then again I would imagine childbirth hurts a lot more than getting shot.
This shooting isn’t polling well for Democrats.
Al Sharpton had claimed that this was done by a Trump supporter and is now pledging his thoughts and prayers for the officers.
