Details about who was involved in the closed-door screaming and the call for police help were not immediately available.

Lowe said in an interview Wednesday afternoon that he did not break the law in the confrontation with the reporter.

"I haven't accosted anyone," Lowe said. "And it's an internal matter."

Lowe said he spoken with the N.C. General Assembly Police Department about the incident. Killian also said he spoke to the legislative police about the matter.

Chief Martin Brock of the General Assembly Police Department, said that his agency hasn't determined whether charges will be filed in the case. Brock declined to comment further.

"I haven't been able to talk to (Killian)," Lowe said. "I would love to sit down and have a cup of coffee with the gentleman. At some point, we will be able to talk so I can apologize to him personally."

Lowe said he believes he has had a good relationship with the press for several years.

Killian also made a statement about Wednesday morning's incident.

“What happened today isn’t just an assault on me,” N.C. Policy Watch quoted Killian as saying. “It’s an assault on the free press.
