The Woman Then Takes The Gun & Beat The Car Up. So The People Leave & Yell If You Want Your Gun, You Have To Come Get It. So My Son Comes Home With The People That The Gun. The People Left While My Son Was Showing Me His Face & Lip. My Son Leaves With My Male Friend To Go Get His Things From The House The Incident Happened At, Then Go To Another State.
