During the fight outside, Armstrong suffered a cut to his head, then pulled out a pistol and chased his stepfather and stepsister down the street at gunpoint. Armstrong admitted to firing one round.
Officers found Monopoly money and game pieces scattered around the living room. Neighbors reported hearing a gunshot from the street. Officers believe Armstrong hid the pistol before they arrived, and the gun was not located.
