Video shows the shooter walking to a police vehicle and firing into it from the passenger side. The video cuts off right when one of the deputies exits the vehicle. Both were rushed to the hospital. Protesters were on the scene attempting to block progress into the emergency room. Chants of, “We hope they die,” were heard.<\/p>\n

From Eyewitness News ABC 7:<\/span><\/p>\n

A man clad in dark clothing walks up to the parked vehicle at the Metro station, approaches the window on the passenger’s side and fires several times at close range. The suspect then runs off on foot. One deputy is seen emerging from the passenger side and stumbling around on foot for several seconds before the video ends.<\/p>\n

Both deputies sustained multiple gunshot wounds and underwent surgery at a local hospital. They were described as alive but in critical condition.<\/p>\n

“That was a cowardly act,” Sheriff Alex Villanueva said. “The two deputies were doing their job, minding their own business, watching out for the safety of the people on the train.”<\/p>\n

“To see somebody just walk up and start shooting on them. It pisses me off. It dismays me at the same time. There’s no pretty way to say it.”<\/p>\n

One deputy was described as a 31-year-old mother of a 6-year-old boy. Her husband came to St. Francis Medical Center in Lynwood after the shooting.<\/p>\n

The other deputy was a 24-year-old man and his girlfriend and parents came to hospital.<\/p>\n

Villanueva said he swore in both deputies to office just 14 months ago in the same class.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
