[ gunfire ] and first i dismissed it as the backfire of a car or some construction down the road. i wasn't sure. and then i heard pop, pop, a few more pops. i rushed over to the window and looked out the window and immediately saw a man with a white tank top and a gun. he was kind of roaming the streets randomly shooting at cars. >> johns begins recording this video with his cell phone camera and he tries to warn the people below. >> he's shooting people at will.

"madman, why don't you come up here. come on up here, buddy." shoot me. i want to die. shoot me. i'm ready to die. kill me, i want to die! please, kill me! i thought it would get his attention, something that sounds

crazy. if he was in an altered state, maybe he would believe. when he started coming in my direction, i saw him getting closer and closer. and i wondered, is he going to shoot? am i gonna die? >> instead, the gunman has a request. >> ammo! >> i don't have any, man. i'm so sorry. >> he's like, i'm out of ammo. >> i'm so sorry. >> call the ambulance. >> he says, call an ambulance. here i'm thinking, he doesn't even know what he just did. he's telling me to call the ambulance. >> there's a cop. >> three minutes after the first shots are fired, two detectives just blocks away when told of the shooting by eyewitnesses pull up and run south down vine under the treeline. a third officer, off duty and working a nearby movie set, joins up with them. they attempt to engage the gunman, but according to
