The 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 31-year-old female deputy and 24-year-old male deputy both underwent surgery Saturday evening, Sheriff Alex Villanueva said in a late-night news conference. Both graduated from the academy 14 months ago, he said.
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.
All funds raised will be given directly to the families of these officers by the LA Sheriff's Department.

Leadership matters. We all need to thank Riverside Sheriff Chad Bianco For his strong and much needed words regarding this attempted assassination. Words matter when cowards revolt and Sheriff Bianco called out the source of the exact evil moving to LA We are at a turning point in LA and either the truth will be told about these Thugs by politicians, police chiefs and Sheriffs or every police officer Is placed at greater risk. Political correctness has put us here. Every life matters and those who disagree are racists. Every means all, every race and culture, as outlined by common sense and the Bible. My prayers to these two courageous heroes and their families and God save all of us in LA if politicians continue to have a grip on law enforcement management comments, decisions and failure to act.
