The two Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department deputies who were shot and critically injured Saturday night are out of surgery, according to a LASD spokesperson.

"It looks like they're going to be able to recover," Sheriff Alex Villanueva said Sunday afternoon.
"We'll see what the long-term impact is. We don't know that yet, but they survived the worst," Villanueva said during a community dialogue event.
The deputies, one male and one female, were "ambushed" as they sat in their vehicle, police said.
