I don't know how the gun went off. I didn't pull the trigger at all. We have a gun in our car. We've been traveling from Kansas. So, we camped in Louisiana and we camped in Beavers Bend State Park along our way here. So, he always brings a gun just for like personal safety. And so, we went to a beach bar nearby and we were kind of arguing at the bar and on the way here, we were arguing a lot. Pretty bad. And so, we usually keep the car or the gun in our car but I was a little worried just like with his drinking and stuff. Like, he's just been kind of unsteady sometimes. So, I took the gun and I put it in my purse and brought it into the room with us so that it wasn't in the car. So, I put my bag in the bathroom and he was banging on the door and he was like, "Let me in. Let me in." And some of this is on video on my phone in the car. Him like saying he hates me and all this [ __ ] And so, I had the gun in my purse. So, I got out and I was like, "Just go to bed. Like, please just go to bed." So, when he came in the bathroom, he took the gun out of my hand and was like fighting with me in the bathtub and then it went off. Oh, you guys were fighting over the gun. He was fighting He took the gun from you? He was like jumped in the bathtub with me. He was like taking gun but like I don't know. He was like on top of me and I don't I don't know how the gun went off. So, honey, how many shots went off? I think just one. I didn't even know it was loaded. So, you guys you So, you was in the bathroom? I was hiding in the bathtub. And he he went to go >> And he came in the door and he got in the bathtub and he took the gun out of my hand and then it went off. >> So, you took the >> But I was like pushing against his chest with my other hand to like protect myself to like get off me. >> So you was in the using the tub with the gun? I was in the tub. So and then so you're in the tub you guys were fighting you don't know how the gun went off he grabbed cuz because he grabbed the gun. >> I didn't pull the trigger. I didn't know there was bullets in there. Usually he keeps like a second he doesn't ever keep his gun loaded. He always has like a I don't know what it's called. Something else that has the bullets in there like a magazine. He always has that separate. Okay. All right. I just took it so that you wouldn't have access to the gun. >> So you just took the gun so he he won't have access Earlier you said something else. I took the gun and I got in the bathtub because he was drunk and we were fighting in the tub. We were saying a lot of not good things to each other. So I took the gun from the car I put in my purse and I brought it in to the hotel room left it in my purse. We were fighting again so I brought the whole bag into the bathroom. So where did you place the bag at when Like on the bathroom counter. On the counter. And you just had the gun in your hand when he came to the bathroom. >> purse. So you got up out of the tub to get the gun. >> on the door. I wasn't in the bathtub yet. He banging on the door and he wanted in the bathroom and he like was saying things. >> Just like threats and things like that. >> off a round? On the bathroom door. And so I took my purse and I got in the bathtub and I just told him to like please go away. And he was like please let me in whatever. Well then he got in the door and I was still in the bathtub. >> Car 2 20 And so I got in the bag and I got the gun out, but I didn't do anything with it. He like got in the bathtub with me and he was grabbing the gun out of my hand. And the gun went off. I didn't pull the trigger. I didn't fire any shots. I didn't mean to. I'm investigating what happened. Uh-huh. So I'm So how did the gun come out of the holster? Out of the what? Holster. The holster? Yeah. I don't I don't think it was in a holster. There's one on the one sitting on the toilet. Is that like a belt thing? No, it's like a little plastic hard case with it. I don't know. I think it was already out of the holster and then instead of going for I think I just grabbed all the pieces. Out of it out of there? So have you ever fired that gun at all since you since you've had it? Ever? I don't shoot guns. I He was still three feet back from my height. And so I went to the bathroom and went pee and when I was on the toilet that's when he was like banging on the door and saying things. And that's when he came in and I got in the tub. So I I'm I'm tracking with you're saying and I'm following you talking. So you're on the toilet. He's banging on the door. Why not just come in if the door's open? I don't know. I don't know. Why you wouldn't let him come in? Cuz I'm also concerned with the fact that there's three bullets like live rounds on the floor in front of the toilet. I didn't shoot any of them. No, no. I didn't shoot three shots. I didn't say that there was three shots. I'm saying like live rounds like somebody was making sure that the gun was loaded, you know. I mean I guess I can't blame you. I I'm not a gun expert, so I I didn't I didn't put those there. I don't I don't know. Um at any time was he threatening you? I mean cuz they're all evening. You didn't listen to the video on my phone. No, I didn't in the bathroom. >> me all the time. Physically, I'm talking about like Yeah, he hit me twice in the car. My daughter is witness to it. So, yeah, this is like a normal occurrence. No, I'm just asking you. >> never shoot each other like this. This isn't >> upstairs in the bathroom? No. You see what I'm getting at? That there's no need for that use of force if somebody's banging on the door and yelling at you. But he's drunk. And he's he's got some anger issues. I mean, he's a 100% disabled veteran. He's got PTSD and so many things. So, yeah. Sometimes for for self-protection, I did that so he didn't have access to it. Because I mean, for several factors. I understand. But also for like self-protection, like I don't want him to shoot me. I think they're about upstairs and fighting. Huh? Jacqueline King was charged with attempted homicide.
