The shooter of two Los Angeles County deputies is still at large, and the sheriff's department continues its manhunt with a substantial reward for anyone with information on the suspect. 

Sheriff Alex Villanueva said the two LA deputies have already "survived the worst." He noted that they would likely survive the ambush shooting that happened to them Saturday.

It happened just before 7 p.m. at the deputies' patrol vehicle, Villanueva said in a press conference Saturday. A surveillance video showed that the shooter fired at close range, leaving the deputies with critical injuries.

The shooter immediately fled the scene, which was just near Compton's police station. It is believed one of the victims was shot in the face and the other was shot in the head. They both had to go through surgeries but are likely to survive, reported Orange County Register.

One of the victims was a 31-year-old female, and the other was a 24-year-old male. They both sustained multiple gunshot wounds but are now in stable condition.

Reward Offered for Information on Shooter

The surveillance video did not give much information on the suspect, other than he is a man who wore dark clothing.

Authorities said the man might be around 28 to 30 years old.With few details on the ambush shooter, the officials turned to the community on Sunday.

They offered a $100,000 reward for anyone who can help track down the suspect. Anyone with information leading to the gunman's arrest and conviction will get the reward, reported NBC Los Angeles.

"We really need the public's help in apprehending the suspect," said Deputy Juanita Navarro late Saturday.

Navarro said the gunman is a "very dangerous individual," and the department will use all the resources they have to locate him. "We're not going to stop," she added.

The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors authorized the reward, the department announced on Sunday afternoon. 

More Video Feed Provides Details

Authorities did not see any possible motive for the attack. New surveillance video and dispatch calls did add some more details as to what happened, though. 

The Los Angeles Times reviewed the view, and it did indeed showed a figure in dark clothes casually walking up to where the patrol car was parked.

The man approached the car from behind, shot the car's passengers, and ran back the way he came. Moments later, the doors of the car opened, and one of the deputies stumbled out.

On the radio, one shaky voice muttered: "998 Compton Pax." A dispatcher recognized the code for a deputy-involved shooting and asked: "Just happened?" 

"Compton Pax, deputies down," the voice said, barely audible.

In the extended footage, the shooter turned a corner out of the frame. Seconds later, a second figure was seen lingering on the sidewalk. It's not clear if the second person was involved in the attack.

As the security footage released by the department was recorded with a fisheye lens, the height and weight of the shooter were distorted, Capt. Kent Wegener said.
