Cell phone video taken by witness Lane Brown and shared with ABC News appeared to show the gunman dressed in black tactical gear, including a bulletproof vest.

“It looked like he was playing Call of Duty or something. He had everything on,” Brown told ABC News, referring to the first-person shooter video game. “He even took aim at a girl walking a dog. There were a couple of ladies hiding behind a car.”

He said it sounded like the gunman was firing a semiautomatic rifle.

The gunman is then seen in Brown’s video running through a nearby parking lot, where the gunbattle apparently occurred.

“I saw him get shot. I saw him go down,” said Brown, who took the cell-phone video from his 10th-floor condo near the federal building. “I couldn’t actually tell from where I was at who shot him or how many times or anything, but I did see him jerk a couple of times and then he hit the ground.

“It was just really frightening to see something that close and knowing that he was shooting at real people down there,” Brown said.

Police have yet to comment on a possible motive for the shooting.

“At this time, we have no information indicating that there are other shooters, other threats to the community,” DeSarno said.
