Apparently there's a male who just walked into the middle of the street and just fired a whole magazine at a car.
00:18
We don't have any better description yet.

There's also another person advising there's several people that are running off, no directions given for them, and then there was a dark-colored four-door sedan that left an unknown direction on Pacific.
