Police are giving very little details as to what happened in the moments up until the shooting.

One man though says he saw it all.

"We heard bang, bang, bang, bang, like that, and I heard them yelling when I first came out the house," explains witness David Cordova. "They had him on the ground and one cop said, "Don't get up or I'll have to kill you.'"

Police have not identified the suspect nor said why he started shooting in the first place.
