   A man wielding a butcher knife stabbed three people along Sunset   
   Boulevard and inside a Jack in the Box restaurant in Hollywood   
   before police shot and killed him Tuesday afternoon, Los Angeles   
   Police Department officials said.   
      
   The attacker, who went on a rampage along Sunset about 2 p.m.,   
   also tried to enter a nearby coffee shop, but a customer held   
   its glass door shut, witnesses reported.   
      
   Korbyn Gomez, a student at the L.A. Film School near Sunset and   
   Ivar Avenue, said he watched as the attacker approached with a   
   ‘big ... bloody knife.”   
      
   “He was 15 feet away from me,” Gomez said. “I got away. You   
   could tell he was going to give it to anyone who was near.”   
      
   Police responding to an assault-with-a-deadly-weapon call   
   confronted the suspect inside the Jack in the Box, “at which   
   time an (officer-involved shooting) occurred,” said LAPD Officer   
   Sal Ramirez. “The suspect went down and was taken into custody.”   
      
   LAPD Sgt. Frank Preciado said the attacker, described as a black   
   man possibly in his 30s, died at the scene from his injuries.   
      
   The dead man has not been identified, Preciado said.

   The area is a popular one with tourists, and is busy with   
   employees from nearby businesses such as CNN offices and patrons   
   of the ArcLight Theater.   
      
   The victims included a man stabbed in the arm as he was riding a   
   bicycle near a liquor store on Sunset Boulevard.   
      
   The liquor store owner had just asked a man, who was reportedly   
   sitting outside the business, to leave, Preciado said.   
      
   “(The suspect) got up and as soon as he saw the individual on   
   the bicycle, he stabs him,” Preciado said, adding the victim and   
   suspect did not know each other.   
      
   A witness, who asked to be identified only as Paul, said he saw   
   a young man bleeding on the sidewalk near the liquor store as   
   people came to his aid.   
      
   “It looked like he lost a pretty good amount of blood,” Paul   
   said. “All of the people standing with him were going crazy,   
   like ‘Help! Help!’   
      
   Two of the three people injured were transported to hospitals,   
   according to LAPD Officer Sal Ramirez.

   Police said a taser was used on the suspect before the shooting,   
   adding that surveillance video inside the restaurant would be   
   reviewed as part of their investigation.   
      
   CNN reporter Maeve Reston, who works out of the network’s   
   building on Sunset, witnessed some of the chaos, reporting on   
   Twitter that she saw a man trying to stab people.   
      
   “Unclear how many stabbing victims there are, but suspect ran   
   down Sunset Blvd. trying to stab people outside our CNN office   
   in Hollywood,” Reston tweeted at 2:19 p.m.
