Palmdale Sheriff's Station closes to honor fallen deputy
The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department’s Palmdale station announced it will be closed Monday in honor of fallen Deputy Ryan Clinkunbroomer.
“Today, September 16, 2024, marks the one year anniversary of our fallen brother, Deputy Ryan Clinkunbroomer’s passing,” the Palmdale Sheriff’s Station posted on Instagram.
In honor of Clinkunbroomer, the Sheriff’s Station closed its lobby doors so its personnel could stand watch in front of the station.
“We will not be open to provide our residents with vehicle/repo releases, copies of reports or other inquiries until 12:01 AM on September 17, 2024,” the post read.
Clinkunbroomer was ambushed and fatally shot one year ago while sitting at a red light in his patrol vehicle.
The shooting was described as “cowardly and senseless” by Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón.
The man accused in the shooting has been charged with murder.
