A man has been arrested and wife during a domestic violence incident Wednesday night, according to a news release from the El Paso County Sheriff’s Department.
Robert Williams told his daughter to get another gun from the house so that the two could “duel,” the release said.
A struggle between the two ensued, and the father’s gun went off. The juvenile daughter fired a round back in his direction. No one was hit or injured.
When Williams’ wife and daughter attempted to leave the house, he retrieved a shotgun from a shed on the property, which he proceeded to point at his wife, who grabbed a rifle from the house. She then fled with her children to a neighbor’s house, where she called 911, according to the news release.
Williams was charged with two counts of felony menacing, prohibited use of a weapon and child abuse.
