the man who confronted him. for example, chad accused the young men of firing first. during the car chase. the next thing you know i was looking out, i can see these three flashes, and then i hear crack crack crack. but according to luis, that never happened. what s more he said, chad didn t seem worried they had a gun, when he approached their car. did he at any point say, are you armed? did you have a gun? or throw your weapon away? anything like? that nothing like. that which is kind of confusing, seeing as he accused us of shooting, at his house. but he was pointing a gun at us like we were armed. so he came up to the car and said, were you the one shooting at my house? yes. he didn t say shoot at me at the car? no. odd. remember, chad told the police that the young man shot at him during the chase. did you, ever that night say why are you shooting at me in the car? or you shot at me in the car? anything like that? no nothing. nothing like. that
some of the young men decided the car was more of a target than refuge. and hit in the tall glass in the middle. and we felt uncomfortable staying in the car, and i don t blame. them and now the two best friends, lewis, and rory were trapped in the dark. lewis laid down on the ground. prompt his wounded lake against the car. tried to keep talking to rory. who was lying in the backseat. rory was shot in his head. he could barely talk but when he did it was jumbled, it was horrible. he would call out my name a lot. i told him, i guess just naively that could feel his pain. he was able to reply something, like you have no idea. my whole league had become numb, from my knee down. and then shortly after that, my left leg started going out. and then the rest of my extremities. until eventually it reached my lips. and then it got to a point where it was like, well maybe all die. just about then, lewis saw headlights appear in the distance. and eventually somebody makes their way t
place. and i was, like what the heck is going on? and then i walked out, and as i m looking down, this car goes speeding away. chad hopped in his truck, drove to the end of the driveway. and that s when i noticed one of the lights have been taken, the solar lights. one of several attached to the poll marking the edge of the property. a cheap item, but still. why would somebody want one of those? i don t know. when morning came, chad inspected his friends campsite near the bottom of the property. those footprints left by strangers around their trailer. they put us on edge. basically, tyler. the commotion, the stolen light, the footprints of people who have no business being there, the children picked up the anxiety. i remember asking my dad, and mom, what are you going to do if they come back? and what would happen if somebody got hurt? to witness your children scared like that, and insecure, as a parent you . and that s how i felt. as a father. as a person
body. waited for the gunman to finish him off. because it starts a circle around the car, the whole while he s pointing the gun at us. looking like a swat team, or something like that coming. when he comes up, he says, you want to shoot in my house, i ve got kids, or something like that. we said we wouldn t shoot your, house we wouldn t do that. so the gunman points the gun right at me and says, look, we didn t shoot your house, please just call an ambulance. and he took off. suddenly, relief. some of the friends had run for cover during the shooting. now they return to the car, but to what, they were alone in the dark. and their friend, the driver, rory, was clearly in bad shape. my friend has just been shot, and said i m shot. we just assumed, we re gonna get back in the car,
anxiety that weekend? it was really high? that evening, still on it, carrie and the kids watch a movie and fell asleep on the couch. chad left outside with his friends, will we were just sitting on the porch. the story of what happened next, is both complex and as you see, disputed. which is why we had shot it on video to help us illustrate events. it was nine or 10 pm said chad, when his friends noticed the car. and then they said, he just shut off his headlights and pulled up around the driveway. what was going on? the car the night before, the jeep that came out the driveway, that very afternoon. and now strangers were out there again. i picked up the ar that was sitting right there next to me, his ar-15 bushmaster, he fired a warning shot. and then i just remember seeing some guy running away. but would a
