   Los Angeles police fatally shot a man in a Hollywood fast-food   
   restaurant Tuesday, just moments after the man stabbed three   
   others in an apparently unprovoked attack.   
      
   The assailant — described only as a man in his 30s — stabbed a   
   bicyclist about 2 p.m. along the north side of Sunset Boulevard   
   near Ivar Avenue, said Sgt. Frank Preciado, a spokesman for the   
   Los Angeles Police Department.   
      
   The attack occurred on a popular corridor along Sunset   
   Boulevard, near the ArcLight Cinemas, Amoeba Music and the Los   
   Angeles offices of CNN.   
      
   The assailant then ran down Sunset Boulevard and tried to get   
   into a coffee shop, where employees held the door shut against   
   him, Preciado said.   
      
   Next, the man continued eastbound and walked into a Jack in the   
   Box, where he stabbed another man, Preciado said.   
      
   As the second victim fled the fast-food restaurant, police   
   officers rushed inside. The man then knifed a third person.   
      
   Officers confronted the man and shot him an unknown number of   
   times. Preciado said police also attempted to use a Taser.   
      
   The man died at the scene. Authorities did not release his name,   
   and investigators were still trying to determine a motive for   
   the attacks, Preciado said.   
      
   Video posted on social media from inside the restaurant showed a   
   person calling for a belt or shoelace to be used as a tourniquet   
   for a victim sitting in a chair with a pool of blood on the   
   floor.   
      
   Moans could be heard. As an officer reports “shots fired,”   
   another officer can be seen kneeling over a person face-down on   
   the ground and holding the person’s arm.   
      
   L.A. City Councilman Mitch O’Farrell, whose district includes   
   Hollywood and East Hollywood, commended LAPD officers for their   
   swift response.   
      
   “It saved lives,” O’Farrell said at a news conference Tuesday   
   night.   
      
   Investigators were unsure if the assailant knew the three   
   victims, or if they were otherwise connected in some way, police   
   said.   
      
   For the inquiry into the shooting, authorities were planning to   
   review surveillance video. Preciado said there was no footage   
   from body-worn cameras to review.   
      
   All three victims were taken to hospitals with stab wounds. Two   
   were initially listed in critical condition and were undergoing   
   surgery late Tuesday, according to Josh Rubenstein, a spokesman   
   for the LAPD. Both were considered medically stable.   
      
   The third man was expected to be released from the hospital   
   Wednesday.
