President Donald Trump on Sunday called for the death penalty after a suspect ambushed and shot two Los Angeles County Sheriff’s deputies in Compton, California.

“If they die, fast trial death penalty for the killer. Only way to stop this!” he wrote, referring to the two deputies who were shot in the head on Saturday. Video footage showed a suspect approaching their vehicle before opening fire as they were sitting inside.
