Gunned down in broad daylight: Terrifying moment police shot dead man in hail of bullets outside fast food restaurant

Police in Los Angeles County gunned down a man who was preparing to swing a metal pipe at them in the parking lot of a fast food restaurant.



The entire heart-stopping shooting - 10 shots in all - was captured on video by two teens with a cell phone camera, who watched as the man walked out of the Carl's Jr. about 9.30am Monday and apparently refused officers' commands to surrender.



The dead man's name is unknown and the names of the officers involved in the shooting have not been released.

Standoff: The man refused officers' orders to stand down and surrender, despite officers pointing their pistols at him after they shot him with a Taser

Open fire: This is the moment the officer on the right begins to fire, as the man looks prepared to swing his pipe at another officer who is trying to back out of the way

The man appears to be casually walking out of the burger joint after smashing windows at the restaurant.



Police approach and shoot him in the face with a Taser stun gun.



The man pulls the electric probes and wires out, takes a step then turns toward one of the officers and swings the metal bar.



That's when one officer, holding a pistol in one hand and the leash of a police dog in the other, opens fire, shooting five times.



The man stumbles backwards and spins. He is still on his feet with his back to the shooter when a second officer fires five more times.



Hail of bullets: The officer on the right fires five times and the man (head visible behind the car) spins and stumbles. This is the moment a second officer five more times

Down: Police said the man (bottom right corner) died at the hospital, but the cameramen claimed they saw him stop breathing while he was still at the scene

He was taken to the hospital, where he died, police say.

The cameramen, who react with shock at what they see, apparently set up in their car to film the man's encounter with officers after they saw him causing a disturbance in the restaurant.



'Dude they shot him so many times!' one of the onlookers says.



Before the video surfaced, police claimed the man had swung the pipe at officers. However, the footage does not show he actually took a swing.



Rather, it appears the man gripped the pipe like a baseball bat and was preparing to hit out with it.

The target of his fury, the officer with the Taser, appearing to be fumbling in his pocket for a cartridge to reload the stun gun.



Ineffective: The man, with his metal pipe in hand, pulls two Taser probes out of his face as the officer on the left tries to reload his stun gun

He backed up quickly to avoid the man's swing.



Police were originally called to the restaurant on reports that a man was trying to break in. When they arrived, they spotted several people running from the restaurant.



The video shows police hide beside the door so the man will not see him until he walks outside.



'Get your cameras out, they're gonna drop him right here,' one of the teens behind the camera says as the man steps out the door.



After the shooting, one of the teens comments: 'They could have done something f**** different than f****** shoot him, use a baton or something.'

The video quickly became viral after the teens uploaded it to YouTube. It had more than 140,000 views since it was uploaded Monday.
