The attack, in Louisiana, has seen three police officers killed with a manhunt now underway.
A woman who was at the scene took to Facebook Live to stream a video to her friends, which was later broadcast on news networks.
She can be heard in a panicked voice saying: "They've got a sniper over here. I don't cuss on my Facebook... I'm nervous. Y'all gonna have to excuse me. Look at this.
"This man is shooting at the police. He has a mask on, looking like a ninja baby. He is military. I don't know who this man is.
Another witness told WBRZ News 2 that a man dressed in black and with his face covered began shooting indiscriminately after walking out of a convenience store and car wash.
Several gunshots can be heard ringing out one by one in other footage.
Other vehicles can be seen speeding away for safety, with another video showing a SWAT team vehicle racing towards the scene.
A witness told CNN: "There is still an active scene. They are investigating.
"Right now we are trying to get our arms around everything. It's just been one thing after another."
