John Mayer's gun attack explained

John Mayer has put the paparazzi on high alert after he was spotted taking a high-energy self-defense class in New York.

Members of a hidden video crew wondered what they were seeing when Mayer fought off an apparent attacker, who was waving a gun at the singer/songwriter's head.

But sources insist Mayer's life isn't at risk - he's just learning how best to defend himself from over-zealous cameramen and fanatics.

The rocker has been a paparazzi target for many years, and now he's dating Jennifer Aniston, interest in him is about to hit fever pitch.
