While the robbers were still inside, additional North Hollywood Division patrol and detective units arrived and took strategic positions at all four corners of the bank, establishing a perimeter around it. At approximately 9:24 a.m., Phillips exited through the north doorway and after spotting a police cruiser 200 feet (60 m) away, opened fire for several minutes. In the initial shooting, Phillips wounded Sgt. Dean Haynes, Officers Martin Whitfield, James Zaboravan, and Stuart Guy, and Detectives William Krulac and Tracey Angeles, as well as three civilians that had taken cover behind Sgt. Haynes' patrol car. Phillips also fired at an LAPD helicopter flown by Charles D. Perriguey Jr. as it surveyed the scene from above, forcing it to withdraw to a safer distance.

Police likely shot Phillips with their handguns while Phillips was still firing and taking cover near four vehicles adjacent to the north wall of the bank. One location that Officer Richard Zielenski of Valley Traffic Division effectively used for cover was the adjacent <a href="/wiki/Del_Taco" title="Del Taco">Del Taco</a> restaurant's west wall, 351 feet (107 m) from Phillips. Zielenski fired 86 9mm rounds at Phillips and is believed to have hit Phillips during their exchange. Zielenski was also able to use this position to draw Phillips' fire away from Sgt. Haynes and Officer Whitfield, who were both wounded and had only marginal cover behind trees across Laurel Canyon Blvd. The other location that proved advantageous for the LAPD was the backyard of 6641 Agnes Avenue. A cinder block wall provided relative cover for several detectives shooting at Phillips with their 9mm pistols. Detective Vince Bancroft and Detective Kevin Harley in particular, were able to position themselves behind cover and fire between 15 and 24 rounds at Phillips, from a distance of approximately 55 feet (17 m). After Mătăsăreanu backed the Chevrolet Celebrity out of the handicapped space in the north parking lot, Phillips received a gunshot wound to his left wrist, based upon helicopter news footage that showed him react to pain.<sup id="cite_ref-28" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-28"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>28<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>At the same approximate time, LAPD gunfire struck the Heckler & Koch rifle that Phillips was firing, rendering it inoperable with a penetration to the receiver.

He would regain control of the vehicle a few seconds later and continue driving down the residential street, now completely separated from Phillips.

During a later lawsuit against retired policemen John Futrell and James Vojtecky and the city, jurors heard testimony that involved an ambulance crew that arrived but left without Mătăsăreanu after Vojtecky allegedly told the crew to "get the (expletive) out of here." During the trial, Vojtecky testified he said something similar. The ambulance driver testified he believed he was in danger by being in the area. The officers testified they tried to get the ambulance to come back or to get another one, but the plaintiffs focused on a point at which Futrell canceled an ambulance call and told the dispatcher, "I have no officers or citizens down, only a suspect."<sup id="cite_ref-CBS_News_31-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-CBS_News-31"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>31<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Later reports showed that Mătăsăreanu had been shot 29 times in the legs and died from trauma due to <a href="/wiki/Hypovolemia" title="Hypovolemia">excessive blood loss</a> from two gunshot wounds in his left thigh.<sup id="cite_ref-32" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-32"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>32<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Most of the incident, including the death of Phillips and surrender of Mătăsăreanu, was broadcast live by news helicopters, which hovered over the scene and televised the action as events unfolded.<sup id="cite_ref-criticalsituation_5-15" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-criticalsituation-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-33" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-33"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>33<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Over 300 law enforcement officers from various forces had responded to the citywide tactical alert.<sup id="cite_ref-34" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-34"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>34<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-35" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-35"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>35<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> By the time the shooting had stopped, Phillips and Mătăsăreanu had fired about 1,100 rounds, approximately a round every two seconds.<sup id="cite_ref-criticalsituation_5-16" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-criticalsituation-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Weapons_and_armor">Weapons and armor</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=North_Hollywood_shootout&action=edit&section=8" title="Edit section: Weapons and armor"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Beretta_92FS_(right).jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b5/Beretta_92FS_%28right%29.jpg/220px-Beretta_92FS_%28right%29.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="146" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b5/Beretta_92FS_%28right%29.jpg/330px-Beretta_92FS_%28right%29.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b5/Beretta_92FS_%28right%29.jpg/440px-Beretta_92FS_%28right%29.jpg 2x" data-file-width="3008" data-file-height="2000" /></a><figcaption>A <a href="/wiki/Beretta_92FS" class="mw-redirect" title="Beretta 92FS">Beretta 92FS</a></figcaption></figure> <p>An inventory of the weapons used:<sup id="cite_ref-latimes19970310_7-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-latimes19970310-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <ul><li>A <a href="/wiki/Bushmaster_XM-15" title="Bushmaster XM-15">Bushmaster XM-15</a> converted illegally to fire full auto with two 100-round Beta Magazines and fitted with a M16A1-style handguard</li> <li>A <a href="/wiki/Heckler_%26_Koch_HK91" class="mw-redirect" title="Heckler & Koch HK91">Heckler & Koch HK-91</a> semi automatic rifle with several 30-round magazines<sup id="cite_ref-36" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-36"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>36<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></li> <li>A <a href="/wiki/Beretta_92FS" class="mw-redirect" title="Beretta 92FS">Beretta 92FS</a> Inox with several magazines</li> <li>Three different civilian-model <a href="/wiki/Kalashnikov_rifle" title="Kalashnikov rifle">Kalashnikov-style rifles</a> converted illegally to fire full auto with several 75- to 100-round drum magazines and 30-round box magazines</li></ul> <p>It was speculated during news reports that Phillips had legally purchased two of the <a href="/wiki/Norinco" title="Norinco">Norinco</a> <a href="/wiki/Type_56_assault_rifle" title="Type 56 assault rifle">Type 56s</a> and then illegally converted them to be fully automatic.
