UPDATE: Tragically, 3 deputies are confirmed deceased. No other injuries reported. Sources tell me that 3 LASD deputies were moving ordinance on the facility’s property when the accident took place. I’m told at this time this appears to be an accident & not a nefarious incident. https://t.co/zN0g8arwHl
