LOS ANGELES—A suspect already jailed on suspicion of carjacking was charged on Wednesday with opening fire on two Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputies as they sat in a patrol car, an attack that was caught on videotape.

Footage of the Sept. 12 ambush on the two deputies outside a train station was broadcast nationwide and became part of the U.S. presidential race after both candidates called for the gunman to be dealt with harshly.
