THE REVOLUTION HAS STARTED!!

Oh sorry, squire, wrong century, millenium yada. Here's what we meant.

The duo then reportedly shouted at the horrified diners to 'tell the police the revolution has begun,' as they fled the restaurant for a nearby Walmart and callously bragged to a bystander in the parking lot they had just killed two police officers.

'He just told me to tell the cops that it was a revolution and they had killed two cops across the street at Cici's,' a witness said.

Also, as we type:

A man armed with what appeared to be a semi-automatic rifle ran into a neighborhood and climbed onto the roof of a house at the end of a high-speed pursuit that extended from near downtown Los Angeles into the San Fernando Valley.

The man is wanted in connection with a criminal threats report. Details regarding the threats were not immediately available, but police told NBC4 they were made "a few days ago."

The man, dressed in all white, climbed down after about 15 minutes on the roof, but remained on the run and might have entered a home. There have been no reports of shots fired in the residential area just west of the 170 Freeway, where an LAPD helicopter is overhead.

The man is likely within a perimeter established by LAPD officers, according to police.

Police requested that residents near the 11600 block of Hartsook Street, just blocks from the Los Angeles Police Department's North Hollywood Station, stay indoors during the manhunt.

And so it goes.
