LOS ANGELES - Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva said on Wednesday that the investigation was continuing in Saturday's ambush shooting of two deputies as they sat in a patrol SUV at a Compton rail station, and said efforts were being made to transfer the pair from St.
Francis Medical Center to a long-term care facility.On Wednesday, the department said the male deputy was released from the hospital.
Villanueva says he has a long road of recovery ahead of him. "We're trying to see if we can transfer them to a place where they can get long-term care, but we obviously have concerns about the COVID and security concerns, so that's going to be an ongoing issue that we are going to have to address," he said.Get breaking news alerts in.
