A man shot himself at the CBS studios in Los Angeles Tuesday night,
after he stormed the building and held off police for hours.

Hours earlier LAPD SWAT teams surrounded the studios and evacuated
everyone inside.

The building is the West Coast headquarters for CBS News. And several TV
shows are taped there. A lot of actors were in the middle of shooting
scenes inside. And soap stars used to acting scared got a taste of real
terror.
(RON MOSS/BOLD & THE BEAUTIFUL)
My leading lady Hunter just went to the bathroom. I was sitting there
on the set and one of our crew guys came in and said Get the Bleep out
of here. Theres a guy with a gun down there!
A mailroom employee got an even closer look at that gun, because it was
pointed right at him.
(CHRIS SMITH/SAW THE GUNMAN)
The man came standing beside the person at the door, put a gun to his
head and said I need help right now. And then he pointed the gun at me
and clicked twice.
(KELLY KRUGER/YOUNG & THE RESTLESS)
Even actors come to work every day and their bags are checked and you
have to have your ID. So how this person got into the building is beyond
me.
Police say the man crashed his brown pickup truck through the gate and
jumped over a railing. When unarmed security guards ordered him to stop,
he pulled a handgun and ran inside. Police evacuated everyone from the
building, including one actress who barely had time to pull a robe on.
(KRUGER)
I was really scared. And the funny thing is we were doing a scene where
I had to be petrified. And at first when they said it I thought they
were just trying to get a reaction out of us and trying to get us really
scared.
