The city of El Monte, CA announced Corporal Michael Paredes and Officer Joseph Santana were killed in the line of duty.
They were murdered by Justin William Flores who is accused of killing the two El Monte police officers Tuesday night.
He had a previous strike conviction and received two years probation for a charge of being a felon in possession of a firearm.
This is another example of people dying because criminals are not fully prosecuted for violating gun laws!
RIP heroes.
