The stepson left the room and later told police that Haynes pointed the pistol at him, and again told him to leave the home. The boy then left the house and called his mother to pick him up.
Altamonte police said that Haynes admitted to them he did in fact pistol whip the PlayStation 4 into submission, but the gunshot was not intentional and was just an accidental discharge. He also told police that at no time did he ever point the pistol at his stepson or threaten him with it in any way.
