Los Angeles County Sheriff Robert Luna said he believed the shooting of deputy Ryan Clinkunbroomer was a 'targeted attack.' But the motive was not yet known.
This undated photo provided by Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department shows its Deputy Ryan Clinkunbroomer.The department released grainy surveillance video of a dark-colored sedan that pulled alongside the patrol car in the moments before the shooting. Luna said investigators believe the"vehicle of interest" is a gray Toyota Corolla manufactured between 2006 and 2012.
The deputy was taken to Antelope Valley Medical Center in Lancaster, where he was treated for a gunshot wound and eventually died. California Gov. Gavin Newsom called the killing"horrific, unconscionable, and shocking." He ordered flags at the state capitol flown at half-staff in honor of Clinkunbroomer.
"In this time of mourning, we honor this legacy and send our deepest sympathies to Deputy Clinkunbroomer's fiancée, his loved ones, and the men and women of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department," Newsom said in a statement Sunday."Deputy Clinkunbroomer's devotion to community and country will never be forgotten."
