She pulled the rifle and said open the window or Ill shoot you guys, Adly explained.
Adly said he didnt want it to get worse so he did whatever she told him.
She said get out of car, you need to prove your son is here and I said ok. I got out and she put the gun at my back and said walk to the house, Adly explained.

When you point a gun at another person, it's always possible you will be killed yourself.

There are so many screwed-up people out there, as the comments also demonstrate. I hope they throw the book at this ugly person.
