The suspect refused, and Garcia said he would call police. “We walked inside and my wife was talking to the police, and we called five times because he was being more threatening,” Garcia recalled. “We saw him, he was leaving his property and cocked his gun,” the father said. “I told my wife to get inside because he cocked his gun and he might come threaten us.
