North Hollywood Shootout
The North Hollywood Shootout DVD documents the most violent police-involved gunfight in U.S. history, captured in real news, dash cam, and aerial footage from February 28, 1997. On that morning, two heavily armed robbers in homemade body armor walked out of a Bank of America branch and engaged LAPD officers in a 44-minute street battle that saw more than 2,000 rounds fired, 11 officers and 6 civilians wounded, and 12 patrol cars shot to pieces. The footage shows exactly why American law enforcement transitioned to patrol rifles and heavier armament in the years that followed. A must-have for firearms historians, law enforcement professionals, and serious students of modern urban gunfights.
