Two Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputies, who were shot point blank in their patrol car Saturday night, are expected to survive. Officials announced the news on Sunday afternoon and called it “a double miracle.”
One of the law enforcement victims is a 31-year-old mother, who was shot in the jaw and arms. The other has been identified as her 24-year-old partner, who suffered wounds to his forehead, arms and one of his hands.
Both remain in critical, but stable condition following surgeries.
According to reports, a lone gunman approached the deputies in their patrol car and opened fire before fleeing the scene.
“The two deputies were doing their job, minding their business (and) watching out for the safety of the people on the train,” stated Sheriff Alex Villanueva. “To see somebody just walk up and just start shooting on them, it pisses me off and it amazes me at the same time.”
