On Saturday, a deputy with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department was fatally shot as he sat in his patrol car in Palmdale, California.
Authorities say that 30-year-old Ryan Clinkunbroomer was found in medical distress at close to 6 p.m. in front of the Palmdale Sheriff’s Station.
Reports indicate that a vehicle approached the deputy’s patrol car prior to shooting into the cruiser, striking the deputy.
Footage from the scene seems to show a Black vehicle pulling up next to the patrol vehicle. No shots were observed; however, the car was seen leaving the area quickly. At the same time, the deputy’s cruiser moved slightly forward prior to coming to a stop.
A good Samaritan alerted police to the unconscious deputy who was transported to a medical facility where he died.
A person of interest has been detained.
