I have a scene that initially takes place in the padded room of a mental institution. A guard opens the door, the prisoner knocks him out and steals his gun and starts firing from the room into the hallway. Then eventually the entire scene spills out in the hallway. So to recap:

Scene in padded room Scene in padded room / hallway (character fires gun in hallway from padded room) Scene in hallway (the action spills out into the hallway)

How would you format this in a TV script?
