In all, the gunman shot or pointed his gun at more than a dozen motorists Friday morning, police said. The 40-year-old driver of a Mercedes-Benz was the only person hit and was in critical condition at a hospital.

Gregory Bojorquez, a photographer who witnessed the incident, said the suspect ignored officers' commands to get on the ground and surrender.

"He was screaming that he was going to die and that he wanted to die," Bojorquez said.

"The officer shot like four times," Bojorquez said. "That officer saved a lot of lives."
