A Los Angeles County sheriff's deputy who was gunned down in what authorities described as an ambush was mourned Thursday by his family, fiancée and hundreds of law enforcement officers who filled a downtown cathedral for his funeral Mass.
Deputy Ryan Clinkunbroomer, 30, was shot Sept. 16 in his patrol vehicle while stopped at a red light near the sheriff's station in the high desert city of Palmdale. A 29-year-old man is accused of shooting him from a car that pulled alongside.
