Time travel: gunman on the KNBC News set



In 1987, a man with mental health issues walked onto the set during KNBC's 4 p.m. news, stuck in the gun in the back of consumer reporter David Horowitz and told him to read a statement. Here's a YouTube clip found by Michael Schneider at Franklin Avenue. Then-KNBC anchor John Beard is looking very tan in the clip, and then-reporter Kirstie Wilde had big hair.
