    An unidentified gunman stands in the center of the street in Sarajevo, Bosnia on Friday, Oct. 28, 2011 at a street in front of the U.S. embassy. An unidentified man shot several rounds at pedestrians in downtown Sarajevo on Friday and injured at least one officer before police special forces took him down. For at least 30 minutes the man stood at a street in front of the U.S. embassy in Sarajevo and shot around from an automatic rifle.

    I'm surprised with the number of onlookers at the scene where a gunman with a rifle was firing shots outside the U.S. embassy in Sarajevo, Bosnia. AP photographer Amel Emric was very close to the scene, providing clear images of the gunman. One police officer was injured before the man was shot and arrested.
