"Insanity plea in murder of LA sheriff's deputy; suspect denies guilt"

The suspect accused of fatally shooting a Los Angeles County sheriff's deputy has pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity. Kevin Salazar, 29, was arrested on Monday for the "ambush" shooting of Deputy Ryan Clinkunbroomer. Salazar's attorney entered a plea of not guilty and not guilty by reason of insanity on his behalf. The charges include special circumstances, such as the killing of a peace officer and discharging a firearm from a motor vehicle. If convicted, Salazar faces life in prison without parole. The motive for the shooting remains unclear, and investigators are looking into Salazar's mental health history.
