Man arrested in ambush of 2 Los Angeles County deputies

LOS ANGELES (AP) – California authorities say they have arrested a man in connection with the shooting of two Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputies as they sat in their squad car.

District Attorney Jackie Lacey on Wednesday says attempted murder charges have been filed against 36-year-old Deonte Lee Murray.

He was arrested two weeks ago in connection with a separate carjacking.

The deputies suffered critical wounds in the Sept. 12 shooting. It was recorded by surveillance video.

They have since been released from the hospital and are recovering at their homes.
