While I never condone violence, someone shooting at a lawyer doesn't really surprise me very much. I'm not going to comment too much on this story, but I will make two observations.

First, had one of these bystanders (or the lawyer himself) not been denied by the California government the right to carry a concealed firearm this shooting might have been avoided. (Technically, current law allows it but selective application effectively denies concealed carry, except for Diane Feinstein or the Hollywood elite.)

Second, this comment by a media still photographer ("At first I thought it was a joke because there was no smoke") shows just how ignorant the media is when it comes to firearms. I mean, we've only been using smokeless powder now for more than 100 years. The photographer, Steve Grayson, went on to say, "But the shots were really, really loud. It was very scary." [cannot help but roll my eyes] Don't get me wrong, I realize that random gunshots are quite startling, but his description makes him sound like a 12-year old.
