Fernando Ramirez, 29, has been charged with 37 counts of attempted murder and assault with a deadly weapon after crashing his car into a crowd, injuring at least 36 people.
At least 23 people were hospitalized with injuries, some being serious, and authorities called it a miracle that no fatalities occurred due to the quick response.
After the crash, bystanders reacted aggressively towards Ramirez, pulling him from the car and resulting in him being punched and shot, as the police continue to search for the gunman.
Los Angeles Police Chief Jim McDonnell stated that the emotions involved in the incident were understandable, but the use of deadly force became unlawful once the immediate threat had ended.
