Footage from a neighborhood security camera could lead to the gunmen responsible for shooting a bicyclist in East Los Angeles.

The Los Angeles Police Department released the video Wednesday, along with a plea for the public's help identifying the two suspected gunmen. The graphic video shows a light-colored Toyota 4Runner passing a bicyclist on the road. Then the vehicle suddenly comes to a full stop and two people jump out of the car, guns raised. The suspects then appear to fire several rounds before hopping back into their car and speeding away.

Thankfully, the bicyclist sustained non life-threatening wounds and was treated at a nearby hospital.

The shooting, which took place Tuesday, July 30 at around 5:30 p.m. in the El Sereno area, could be gang related, according to the police. If you have information about the case, contact Detective Donna Cornejo at (323) 224-0104.

Warning: graphic video.

The shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary on Friday was the second-deadliest school shooting in U.S. history, leaving 27 dead -- including 20 young children. President Obama gave an emotional address, calling for "meaningful action":
As a country we have been through this too many times. Whether it is an elementary school in Newtown, or a shopping mall in Oregon, or a temple in Wisconsin, or a movie theater in Aurora, or a street corner in Chicago -- these neighborhoods are our neighborhoods, and these children are our children. We're going to have to come together to meaningful action on this, regardless of the politics.

I know that every time we try to talk about guns, it can reinforce stark divides. People shout at one another, which makes it impossible to listen. We mire ourselves in stalemate, which makes it impossible to get to where we need to go as a country. However, I believe that if common sense prevails, we can get beyond wedge issues and stale political debates to find a sensible, intelligent way to make the United States of America a safer, stronger place.
