Deputy Sheriff Ryan Clinkunbroomer was shot and killed in an unprovoked ambush at the intersection of Sierra Highway and Avenue Q just outside of the Palmdale Sheriff's Station at about 6:00 pm. Deputy Clinkunbroomer was stopped at a red light when another car pulled alongside his patrol and an occupant opened fire, striking him in the head. A passerby located Deputy Clinkunbroomer in the vehicle moments later and alerted authorities. Deputy Clinkunbroomer was transported to Antelope Valley Medical Center where he succumbed to his wounds. A suspect was arrested later in the evening. Deputy Clinkunbroomer had served with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department for eight years and was a third-generation member of the agency. He is survived by his fiancée, parents and grandparents. #fyp #officerdown #officershot #998 #999 #shotsfired #shootout #shooting #deputydown #deputyshot #DeputySheriffRyanClinkunbroomer #deputy #deputysherrif #la #losangeles #losangelessheriffdepartment #sheriffdeputies #police #cops #cop #huminizethebadge #officerkilled #eow #officerkilledinthelineofduty #EOW #endofwatch #losangelescounty #thinblueline #thinblue #backtheblue #backtheblue🖤💙🇺🇸💪🏼 #lawenforcement #lawenforcementcommunity #coreskills #supportcops #supportpolice
