Paley, 26-years-old, bought a $63 rifle from a Hollywood gun store and used it to fire 15 rounds at the street below. Fortunately, there were no casualties during the shooting. Paley was immediately apprehended.
When questioned about what he did, Paley said that he only wanted to prove a point: that it was easy even for a former mental patient to procure a firearm and shoot at just about anyone in the street.
