Americans all around the country were horrified when they learned of, and then saw footage of, a pair of Los Angeles Sheriff’s deputies being ambushed by a lone gunman last weekend.
The grainy video shows the assailant walking up to a police SUV parked near a rail station in Compton, pulling out a handgun and firing several shots into the vehicle before running a half-a-block to a waiting getaway vehicle parked around a corner.
The deputies – one male, one female – nevertheless managed to survive the cowardly ambush, thank God, and it looks like they’re going to recover very well after narrowly escaping death.

Well, residents of LA County and Americans from around the world collectively want the perpetrator(s) caught so they can be dealt with, while also making sure that the deputies don’t have to worry about covering any of their medical expenses (over and above what their insurance plans would normally cover).
As such, two funds have gone ‘viral’ – a reward fund and another to pay for their post-surgical care and recovery – a wonderful turn to this otherwise tragic story.
As reported by Conservative Fighters:
The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors initially offered a reward of $100,000 on Sunday for information that leads to the arrest and conviction of the shooter, but the reward has since grown as other government agencies and private entities have added to the pot. By Thursday, the reward offering had jumped to $675,000, according to ABC News.
The Association for Los Angeles Deputy Sheriffs pitched in $75,000 and the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority, which the deputies were monitoring when they were shot, donated an additional $25,000. Private donors gave $75,000 more to the offering.
A separate fund is also growing to help the two deputies shot in the incident recover. A GoFundMe page launched by sheriff’s detective Keegan McInnis and dedicated to paying the deputies’ substantial medical bills had soared past $660,000 by Friday morning on toward its goal of $750,000.
That’s awesome news. A reward like that will more likely that not ‘convince’ someone or several someone’s with direct knowledge of the shooter’s actions to step up sooner or later to collect more than a half-million dollars’ in reward money.
Meanwhile, the outpouring of support for the 31- and 24-year-old officers seems limitless.

“Two LASD Deputies were ambushed while sitting in their patrol car. Both Deputies will require multiple surgeries and have a long road to recovery ahead of them. We are asking for our brothers and sisters in our communities as well as our brothers and sisters in law enforcement to come together and help us raise money to ensure their needs and the needs of their families are taken care of.
“We will be partnering with our union’s relief fund, ALADS C.A.R.E.S., who at the conclusion of the GoFundMe will take control of the funds and distribute them directly to the two Deputies,” the page adds.
