Gunman Storms Podcast Host During Livestream In West Hollywood

WEST HOLLYWOOD, CA – A man with a gun stormed into a West Hollywood podcast studio Sunday, charging "No Jumper" host Adam Grandmaison with a gun while he was hosting a live stream.

The studio is in the back of a BMX clothing store on Melrose in West Hollywood. Grandmaison just had food delivered, and the door was left open for only 30 seconds to one minute, according to Yuriy Alymbayev, one of four people in the room at the time of the incident.

“He ran in and immediately had the gun pointed at Adam,” Alymbayev told Fox 11. “He said give me your money.”

Grandmaison posted the video to Instagram with the caption "they tried to kill me lmao."Seconds after the man pointed the gun at the podcast host, some of Grandmaison's friends held the suspect down on the ground until police arrived, the news station reported.

A Los Angeles Police Department spokesperson confirmed to Fader that the gun used in the incident was a "movie prop gun." LAPD arrested David Tran and charged him with attempted robbery, Motherboard reported.

"There's a rear entrance to get into the store, and a close friend of mine who's armed hangs by the door the entire time just in case anything were to ever happen," Grandmaison told TMZ. "This guy snuck in after our Postmates order came."

The "No Jumper" podcast highlights up-and-coming rappers. Grandmaison received plenty of supportive messages, but many questioned whether he staged the event, or if it was a hoax.

"No, this was 100 percent real," he told Fox11. "If it was a joke, it would be a weird joke since the kid got the [expletive] kicked out of him real bad. But it definitely was not a joke."
