i grabbed the m-4. katelyn was talking about the gun she had ready. a nine millimeter pistol and an m-4 rifle and james? he had a ballistic missile as he walked out to reach todd s daughter. i had a 9 millimeters around me and i know how to use it extremely well. here is james s memory of a confrontation that s so tent, it sounded surreal. they hid behind todd and rachel s children. he had ariel on his arm and don had alex? his arms. we are afraid you are going to shoot them. perhaps. i can t remember whether or not todd went to the door with the kids or i went to the door. he was a human shield, she was going to stop the bullets,
