I have a very high respect for news anchors who can go out in public to report live while people scream hello to the moms, as well as other distracting things, like a police shootout across the street from them. 

Fox 5 in San Diego's Jeff McAdam was reporting live outside of a convention center to talk about Comic-Con remaining virtual this year, but he was distracted mid-sentence when police began exchanging fire with a suspect across the street.

Following the shots, the camera pans to show what appears to be the suspect clearing a jam in his gun. McAdam can be heard answering his co-host or producer as he was asked if he was safe where he was standing.
