A retired California sheriff’s deputy was shot twice early Thursday morning after he heard a knock at his front door and went to see who was there, police said.
The former Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department deputy, believed to be in his 70s, was at his home in Redondo Beach when the shooting happened around midnight, FOX11 LA reported. He reportedly had heard a knock at the door and saw the shooter through the screen door.

The shooter asked the homeowner for someone by name before firing three shots, striking the deputy in the chest and wrist, according to NBC4LA.
The gunman fled the scene.
The deputy was taken to the hospital and is in unknown condition at this time.
Seems like it was Karma at the door.
So u mean a life of violating the people’s bill of rights on a daily basis as a job… might actually come back on u when u think u are all safe, fat, happy and retired…
looks like someone was taking care of unfinished business with Mr Sheriff…!!!
A lot of ex Stasi were dealt with this way too…hmmmmm
this guy is an Ex_pig and he answers his door unarmed?
FOOL!
I’ve never been LE but i sure as hell dont answer a knock on my door without bringing along my lil friend
No one would go out of their way to shoot the son-of-a-bitch unless he deserved it .
Exactly, JR!
Belated retribution.
Stay tuned more to come, so many loose ends.
“… his home in Redondo Beach…”
POS ex-pig is livin’ LARGE. Redondo Beach is a high rent district… I should know, I grew up just a few miles away in ‘ghetto’ (not really, but by comparison) Lawndale.
“The shooter asked the homeowner for someone by name before firing three shots, striking the deputy in the chest and wrist, according to NBC4LA.”
The shooter is an idiot. He should have kept his big mouth shut, and just fired till empty.
HOW THE F%&K DO YOU NOT KILL SOMEONE AT POINT-BLANK RANGE?????
