Compton deputy shooting: 2nd wounded deputy released from hospital as manhunt continues

LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- The second of two Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department deputies who were ambushed in Compton has been released from the hospital, the department said Monday.

The two deputies, a 31-year-old woman and a 25-year-old man, were shot on Sept. 12 as they sat in a patrol vehicle at the Metro station in Compton.



The shooter remains at large and the reward for information leading to him has grown to $640,000.

The male deputy had left the hospital on Sept. 16 and now the female deputy has left, the department says. Both deputies are expected to face a long road to recovery from multiple gunshot injuries.
