Two LAPD offers were shot in cold blood.
It is being described as an "assassination attempt."
One officer was shot in the face and the other one was hit in the back of the head.
The officers were sitting in their patrol vehicle.
They weren't interacting with anyone.
They were simply sitting in their police car when an unidentified individual walked up from behind, fired, and walked away.
See the security footage of the incident below:
As though shooting two police officers in cold blood wasn't bad enough, radical members of BLM got involved.
They BLOCKED the entrance of the hospital.
Many of them even attempted to enter the hospital.
One "peaceful protester" was heard shouting, "Don't Save Them! F***ing Die."
Others shouted similar vulgarities.
See the disturbing footage for yourself below:
Fortunately, there was security at the hospital that was able to keep the BLM protesters from entering the building.
Local NTD News confirms:
The Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department said protesters attempted to block and enter the hospital where two shot deputies were taken.
“To the protesters blocking the entrance & exit of the HOSPITAL EMERGENCY ROOM yelling ‘We hope they die’ referring to 2 LA Sheriff’s ambushed today in #Compton: DO NOT BLOCK EMERGENCY ENTRIES & EXITS TO THE HOSPITAL. People’s lives are at stake when ambulances can’t get through,” the department wrote on Twitter.
A person who captured footage of the hospital incident in Los Angeles showed activists near the facility. “I want to deliver a message to the family of the pigs: I hope they [expletive] die,” one is apparently heard saying.Videos on Twitter show that the agitators appear to identify themselves as “Africa Town Coalition” members, as they walk toward the hospital before threatening officers there. Some of them shouted anti-police slogans.
The 31-year-old female deputy and 24-year-old male deputy 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. Villanueva, whose department has come under fire during recent protests over racial unrest, expressed frustration over anti-police sentiment as he urged people to pray for the deputies.
The department posted a video of the shooting that shows a person open fire through the passenger-side window of the patrol car.

“The gunman walked up on the deputies and opened fire without warning or provocation,” the department stated.
Many political observers fear this is a preview of what's to come if Joe Biden and Kamala Harris win in November.
While Trump stands for law and order, Biden has appeared to kneel to the radical left.
The situation in Los Angeles is a stark warning to those across the country who support law enforcement!
In all this darkness....
There is good news!
Despite the close range of the gunshots...
And despite the fact that the deputies were both shot in the head, it is being reported that they will both survive.
This is being described as a "double miracle."
The Los Angeles Times confirms:
Two Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputies were out of surgery and recovering after being shot Saturday evening in Compton in what authorities described as an “ambush” that was captured on surveillance video.
The video, released by the department, shows a man walking up to the deputies’ parked patrol car, pulling out a gun and firing several times into the front seat area from the passenger side. The assailant is then seen running from the scene. On Sunday, officials asked for the public’s help to locate the person who opened fire.
The Sheriff’s Department reported that the shooting occurred about 7 p.m. near the Blue Line station at 275 Willowbrook Ave.
“One male deputy and one female deputy were ambushed as they sat in their patrol vehicle. Both sustained multiple gunshot wounds and are in critical condition.
The deputies were listed in critical condition but were expected to survive.
Sheriff Alex Villanueva on Sunday called the condition of the deputies a “double miracle.”
Law enforcement sources told the Los Angeles Times that at least one of the deputies was shot in the face and the other in the head.
Speaking at a news conference at the hospital late Saturday, Villanueva described one of the injured deputies as a 31-year-old mother of a 6-year-old boy and the other as a 24-year-old man. He said both deputies were sworn into office just 14 months ago.
“The two deputies were ambushed by a gunman in a cowardly fashion,” he said. “This is a dangerous job.”
He noted that sheriff’s detectives on Thursday shot and killed a man in Compton who they said opened fire on them as they served a search warrant.
“Every week across the nation someone is losing their life in the line of duty,” he said. “This is just another grim reminder of that.”
The media and their allies in the Democrat party must take responsibility for their words and rhetoric.
There are consequences for anti-police language.
Fortunately, there are still good people who are willing to keep us safe.
It's time that we stand up for them!
