The war on cops continues in California, as once again a leftist cesspool with strict gun laws fails to prevent another violent left wing extremist attack on cops. Two officers in El Monte (Los Angeles) were murdered by a thug who stabbed someone and was on “gun probation.” The gun used to kill the two El Monte officers apparently was too easy to get for the thug.
A memorial is growing Wednesday for two El Monte police officers who were shot and killed in the line of duty Tuesday night.
Flowers and candles are being placed outside the El Monte Police Department for the officers who were slain while responding to a reported stabbing in the 10300 block of Garvey Avenue.
“These two men were loved. They were good men. They paid the ultimate sacrifice serving their community, trying to help somebody … They were murdered by a coward,” acting El Monte Police Chief Ben Lowry said after the shooting Tuesday.
Investigators said the two officers, Corporal Michael Paredes and Officer Joseph Santana, were ambushed by gunfire from inside a motel room as soon as they arrived at the Siesta Inn around 5:10 p.m.
At one point, the shooter came outside and exchanged gunfire with police.
When the shooting was over, the officers were taken to a local hospital where they were pronounced dead.
