#5  Reads like one of the off-plot episodes in a Ellroy or Wambaugh novel.

#2  That first bullet point brought to mind the image (from a movie) of a revolver being emptied unaimed out a window. Shooter? Maybe some de Niro vintage slab of ham going all "don't mess with me, I'm ka-ray-zy?" Couldn't place it... finally had to Google. Natalie Portman as a kid. Just the kind of thing that the kind of person who'd randomly empty a pistol out a window onto Hollywood Blvd. might fixate on. Or not. What struck me funny was, the scene apparently showed six rounds from a five shot gun.
