Music executive shot by Hollywood gunman still in critical condition

(CBS/AP) LOS ANGELES - A music industry executive injured by a gunman who shot at drivers on the streets of Hollywood was in critical condition Sunday night, two days after police killed the attacker.

John Atterberry, 40, a music industry executive who has worked with artists including Jessica Simpson, Brandy and the Spice Girls, was shot in the face and upper torso as he drove his Mercedes Benz through Hollywood Friday morning, police said in a statement.

Paramedics took Atterberry to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, where he has remained in critical condition since, hospital spokeswoman Simi Singer said.

Atterberry was the only seriously injured victim of 26-year-old Tyler Brehm, who fired close to 20 rounds at seemingly random passing drivers in Hollywood Friday while screaming that he wanted to die. He used what appeared to be a .40 caliber handgun.

An off-duty officer working at a movie set and a detective confronted and shot him, police said.

Police released no information on what may have been Brehm's motive.

Brehm and his girlfriend of four years had broken up last week, according to CBS Los Angeles.
