An Indianapolis mom says a woman pulled a gun on her at a popular children's birthday spot.

INDIANAPOLIS (WTHR) - An Indianapolis mom says a woman pulled a gun on her at a popular children's birthday spot.

The mother says the woman pulled a gun on her at the Chuck E. Cheese's restaurant in Castleton. The mom was with her six children at the time.

The young mother named Paula thought she was safe around 6 o'clock Wednesday night when she took her kids and her father to the business, known for its games, food and entertainment aimed at kids.

"This is one of the videos," said Paula, who asked we only use her first name. She's understandably frightened.

Paula showed us cell phone video she shot which shows a costumed character giving away tickets for free prizes. That's when Paula noticed the woman next to her was stealing Paula's daughter's tickets.

"I look back over my shoulder and they were both staring at me waiting on me to say something," she said of the two women sitting near her daughter. "I was like, I think it's wrong that you all took tickets from a child."

She says the two women who also had kids started walking aggressively toward her and her family, including her father, a former law enforcement officer.

Paula says she told the woman to go away.

"She got almost in my face," Paula said. "And she had a baseball cap on so it was like the bill of it was the distance between us."

She says one of the woman reached into a small pocketbook at her side.

"She pulled out a black gun about the size of my hand. I would say .22 or .25, I don't know guns that well. She got this and then clicked. I believe her shell casing fell on the floor and she put her finger on the trigger and put it in my face," Paula said.

"Sorry," said Paula, overcome with tears.

Then she heard these words from the woman with the gun: "Bet you won't say it again," and "I'll kill you."

She couldn't believe this was happening in a safe family place.

"She put the gun in my face in front of my children. I close my eyes I can still see the barrel. I don't see why she thought that was necessary over free tickets," Paula said.

She snapped photos of the woman who she says put her gun in her car then came back for her kids and left.

Once it was over, well, it's really not over.

"I had my 13-year-old child outside. Last night, she said, 'Mommy, I close my eyes I just see the gun in your face.' All I can think are all the bad things that could've happened. My children watched a gun being pointed at me at Chuck E. Cheese," she said.
