Police responded to the shooting spree about 10:20 a.m. The suspect was shot and killed by police. He died at the scene.

A second person was also shot, possibly by the suspect. A fire official confirmed at least one person was transported by LAFD to a hospital for treatment.

No police officers were injured in the shooting.

"I had some bad feelings. I though maybe we should throw some things at him or call the police. It was a really terrifying moment for me," said witness Nick Weinstein.

"I kind of ducked down behind that water fountain and then, I ran into the bank," said another witness.

Police shut down a portion of the street near ArcLight Cinemas. The intersection of Hollywood Boulevard and Vine Street remained closed at 4 p.m. Traffic was being diverted around the crime scene.
