The suspect fled from police and was later caught but not before leading police into a dead end and trapping them behind a gate, then crashing his own vehicle into another police car.
US Shooting - Dramatic video of man shooting attorney several times
TAPE: EF03/0979 IN_TIME: 23:41:33 DURATION: 1:32 SOURCES: COURT TV RESTRICTIONS: Must On Screen Courtesy Court TV DATELINE: Van Nuys, California, 31 Oct 2003 SHOTLIST: MUTE AS INCOMING 1. Producer in chair 2. Pan to man shooting at attorney around a tree 3. Man walks off 4. Man tackled by David Katz, off-duty policeman STORYLINE: An attorney shot repeatedly outside a Los Angeles courthouse has been taken to a hospital while graphic video of the attack was caught on tape by cameras on hand for the murder trial of actor Robert Blake. The shooter reportedly said, "You took my money. That's what you get," while chasing the attorney around a tree and frantically pulling the trigger of his revolver. It was not immediately clear whether the shooter used blank cartridges or real bullets. A police spokeswoman said the victim was shot multiple times in the upper torso and was conscious and breathing upon transport to a hospital. But the television footage shows the shooter firing several times into the victim's head, who then walks away in an apparent state of shock. Television footage of the suspect shows a stocky man with graying hair and glasses walking calmly from the courthouse after the shooting before police wrestled him to the ground, guns drawn. The shooter is in custody after being brought down by David Katz, an alert off-duty policeman while walking away from the scene. The attorney shot outside the Van Nuys courthouse has been identified by police as a 51-year-old Simi Valley resident. Inside, a hearing was under way in the murder case against actor Robert Blake. The shooting incident apparently was unrelated.

Actor Harry Dean Stanton was tied up and robbed in his home by gunmen who forced their way in, ransacked the house and fled in his loot-filled luxury car. Police say two men were arrested later that night. The 69-year-old actor was struck on the face with a gun and slightly injured when three robbers entered his Mulholland Drive home about 8 p.m. Saturday. The robbers forced Stanton into his bedroom at gunpoint, bound him and then loaded electronic goods and other items into his 1995 Lexus. Stanton, whose lengthy film credits range from "How the West was Won" to "Paris, Texas," freed himself and called police after the gunmen left. The car was equipped with a security tracking device and police located it two hours later in North Hollywood. The chase was on! Officials captured the driver after he crashed into a parked car and tried to get away on foot. The driver of the second vehicle was arrested in the meantime. Alberto Guerro, 20 and Jose Entrique Rivera, 18 both of North Hollywood, were booked for investigation of robbery. The second vehicle involved in the case had been stolen in a car jacking Wednesday in Van Nuys, police said. Stanton has had a long screen career, including "Tomahawk Trail," Pork Chop Hill," "Cool Hand Luke", "The Godfather, Part II," "Alien," "Private Benjamin," "Repo man" and Harry Dean Stanton gives his first interview after being robbed and beaten in his southern California home last night

Musicians in Plane Crash (2007)
A man who came across a fiery jet crash said he saw former Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker and disc jockey Adam "DJ AM" Goldstein trying to extinguish the flames on their bodies by ripping off their clothing. "We turned to the jet to try and see if there was anything we could do, but immediately, there was nothing anyone could do," William Owens told CNN affiliate WIS in Columbia, South Carolina. "I felt ill or sick to think that these lives were snuffed out at that point." The two men were in critical condition with extensive burns Saturday. The crash killed four other people on board, authorities said. The Learjet 60 carrying six people, including Barker and Goldstein, was taking off from the Columbia Metropolitan Airport in South Carolina on Friday night when it went off the runway. The plane crashed through light towers and an antenna array before crossing a road and stopping at an embankment, authorities said. Owens came across the plane wreck while driving and stopped to see whether he could help. Lexington County Coroner Harry O. Harman said all the dead in Friday's crash were Californians. He identified them as pilot Sarah Lemmon, 31, of Anaheim Hills; co-pilot James Bland, 52, of Carlsbad; Chris Baker, 29, of Studio City; and Charles Still, 25, of Los Angeles. The Associated Press reported that Baker was an assistant to Barker and Still was a security guard for the musician. Owens told WIS-TV he was driving on Highway 302 when he saw a fireball. Owens stopped and crossed across the road, which was doused with fuel, to get close to the wreckage. Barker was standing in the road, trying to extinguish his burning pants, Owens told WIS-TV. Owens and Goldstein walked toward the plane, but there was nothing they could do to help, he said. Federal investigators recovered the cockpit voice recorder from the crash site but said they aren't sure whether information on the device survived the blaze. Investigators are also obtaining recordings of conversations between controllers in the tower and the jet's two-person crew, said National Transportation Safety Board spokeswoman Debbie Hersman. "Air traffic controllers did observe sparks from the aircraft as it was going down the runway and immediately alerted fire-rescue crews at the airport," Hersman said Saturday evening in West Columbia. The National Transportation Safety Board has sent team to West Columbia to investigate the crash. The Learjet 60 crashed on takeoff at 11:53 p.m. Friday. Beth Frits, spokeswoman at the Joseph Still Burn Center, in Augusta, Georgia, said Barker and Goldstein arrived at the hospital early Saturday. She said both men had "extensive burns." Video Watch charred wreckage of the plane » Barker and Goldstein had played at a huge free outdoor concert in Columbia's Five Points district on Friday night, CNN affiliate WIS-TV said. Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman Kathleen Bergen said the twin-engine private jet was cleared for takeoff on a flight to Van Nuys, California, and began its takeoff roll a few minutes before midnight. Air traffic controllers "saw sparks coming from the runway -- whether that was from the aircraft or its engines, we don't know," Bergen said Saturday. "They overran the end of runway 11. They impacted the antenna array and a number of lights at the end of the runway. They went through the perimeter fence and across the roadway here," Hersman said Saturday. "There was a significant post-crash fire." The crash closed the airport, which is Columbia's main commercial and passenger terminal, and it remained closed late Saturday afternoon. The airport's Web site listed nine commercial airline flights canceled through 7 p.m. Saturday. Hersman said the airport would not reopen until investigators finished collecting debris from the runway and crash site. advertisement She said investigators would look at every aspect of the crash, from the pilots' schedules to the aircraft's condition. She said it was a fairly new airplane, manufactured in 2006 and certified to operate in 2007. In addition to playing with Blink-182, Barker appeared in the MTV reality show "Meet the Barkers" along with his wife at the time, former Miss USA Shanna Moakler, according to MTV's Web site. COLUMBIA -- It was an escape that mystified those who stood before the fireball. Travis Barker, a rock drummer, and celebrity DJ Adam Goldstein climbed onto the right wing of a flaming Learjet that was to have delivered them and four others Friday to Los Angeles. "Once they slid down the wing, they had to jump on each other to put each other out," Lt. Josh Shumpert of the South Congaree Police Department recalled the men telling him after the commuter jet crashed about midnight. Shoeless, in shock and in pain, Barker and Goldstein kept asking for an ambulance and worrying about their friends still inside, said Shumpert, one of the first responders on the scene. "They were pacing back and forth," he said. The men did not appear to be burned as badly as he expected. The crash killed four people, including Barker's two assistants and the plane's crew. Shumpert said Goldstein, dressed in a T-shirt and shorts or boxers, was hurt the worst. The lieutenant and Columbia resident Bill Owens were among the first to arrive. A dashboard camera from Shumpert's cruiser captured the turmoil, and the officer gave his first extended interview Tuesday. "I remember seeing the DJ guy with burns on his arms and the back and top of his head." Shumpert said he did not see burns on Barker, though he acknowledged it was dark. "I think he had on one sock. Either that, or they were both real nasty. He did not have a shirt on." Doctors at an Augusta burn center said Barker, 32, and Goldstein, 35, have second- and third-degree burns. They are likely to recover fully, doctors have said. "Travis was more visibly shaken than the other guy," said the 25-year-old lieutenant. Neither Barker nor Goldstein said much. Shumpert tried to comfort them, not knowing until an hour later that they were celebrities. Barker was a member of the multiplatinum-selling rock band Blink-182. Goldstein, known as DJ AM, once was engaged to celebrity Nicole Ritchie. Four days later, Owens said he feels guilty. "I'm concerned that I didn't react quickly. I reacted cautiously."
