Trump calls California deputies injured in ambush shooting, wishes them ‘speedy recovery’
The two deputies injured during an ambush shooting in California Sept. 12, received a call from President Trump last week as they were recovering in the hospital, according to authorities.

The deputies, a 31-year-old mother, and a 24-year-old man, were in their marked patrol vehicle outside a Metro train station in Compton on Sept. 12, when police said a suspect approached the passenger-side window, shot them multiple times, and ran from the scene around 7 p.m.

Photos captured the moment that the female deputy -- who is a mother of a six-year-old boy, received a call from the president. She was in critical but stable condition after being shot in the jaw and arms, reports said.

Due to her injuries, she could only write down her response, which was relayed to Trump by an LASD sergeant, who sat next to the deputy and her husband in the ICU.

Both of the deputies and their families were very appreciative of the call!" the LASD wrote. CLICK HERE FOR MORE.
