LOS ANGELES (AP) — Los Angeles County prosecutors expect to file charges Wednesday against a man who allegedly shot and killed a sheriff’s deputy as he sat in a patrol car, authorities said. Officials say Kevin Cataneo Salazar ambushed 30-year-old Deputy Ryan Clinkunbroomer on Saturday in Palmdale, a city of more than 167,000 residents in the high desert of northern Los Angeles County. Cataneo Salazar, 29, is scheduled to be arraigned Wednesday, spokesperson Venusse Navid of the Los Angeles County district attorney's office said in an email.
