Folks, one of our protectors was killed yesterday doing his job in the city of Hawaiian Gardens. Los Angeles County sheriff's deputy Jerry Ortiz, attached to an anti-gang unit, was talking with a man and woman outside an apartment when another man burst out the door and, the Times says, "put a handgun to the officer's face and fired." The cops think the killer was Jose Luis Orozco, 27, a parolee already wanted on suspicion of attempted murder. Ortiz, a 15-year veteran, married his second wife just two weeks ago. He has two sons, ages 6 and 16. Update: Suspect arrested late Friday.
