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).

Tucker Carlson mentioned that some onlookers filmed the bleeding police and laughed about it. And none bothered to call 911. Thank goodness the female officer was able to call it in — even with her jaw shot up.

I wish there were some law against laughing at seriously injured people.

Surprised the m’f’s that run GoFundMe didn’t shut down the account.

Al Sharpton had claimed that this was done by a Trump supporter and is now pledging his thoughts and prayers for the officers.

WTF

The deputy couldn't even talk to her dispatcher.   We need to start shooting on sight the Antifa/BLM vermin where they stand.   This communist insurrection must be stopped.

Just think of the fact that they are communist insurrectionists and save your hate for the Democrat instigators and their financial supporter puppet masters like George Soros, Micheal Bloomberg and Tom Steyer.

Radio news coverage sounded very familiar going back to when the same stuff was happening in New York .Where cops were being murdered as the aftermath of Obama using the Zimmerman trial and the Bully Pulpit creating racial division defending resisting arrests which resulted racial attacks on innocents traversing black neighborhoods and attacks on police officers.

Those so called “protesters” at the hospital in this should be considered accomplices and also held responsible.

“I BETTER JUST SHUT UP...IM ABOUT TO GO OFF AND USE A CERTAIN WORD AND ILL GET BANNED...”
Do what I do to keep from getting banned on Twitter - quote/cite someone else...like Moms Mabley. who once said, “NAACP stands for, ‘Niggers aren’t always colored people’” and then add something like, “but this one is.”

I was actually watching the TV when she said it...

Worthy partner - as Louis L’Amour would say, “She’s one to walk the river with.”

Ditto. And LeBron James is the lowest of the low. I do so hope that all pro sports go down the tubes. I wrote a letter to my former favorite MLB team today to tell them I am no longer a fan, won’t watch games, buy merchandise, or buy anything from their sponsors.

Yeah, where are Drew Brees, Baker Mayfield, and J.J. Watt? Wish I knew how to ask them.

love to see a highly organized boycott effort of the NFL...high profile people with a weekly press conference and co-ordination...other sports have pro leagues around the world, but the NFL thugs are too gd dumb to understand that their stupid game is only played here in the states....it could get seriously damaged.
