Sheldon said he ran into the house to get his truck keys so he could chase the SUV off his father’s property.

“I ran towards the house not knowing if that vehicle was going to leave or something else was going to be taken after watching the quad almost get stolen,” he said.

He heard two gunshots as he entered the house and a third gunshot as he left the house, he testified.

“My father walked behind the back of the grey vehicle toward me with a gun in one hand and a magazine in the other and he turned and looked at me like he was going to be sick and said, ‘I don’t know what happened. It just went off. I just wanted to scare them.’ ”

Sheldon testified that two men who had been in the grey SUV ran away while two women, who’d been sitting in the back, started yelling. He said they got out of the SUV, opened the driver’s door, and pulled the driver’s body from the seat. The barrel of a rifle, which appeared to have been sitting between the driver’s legs, also fell out of the SUV, he said.

Sheldon told the jury he had not seen any weapons in the grey SUV before then.

He said his mother, who had been mowing the lawn while everything happened, ran into the yard and told him to call 911. Sheldon said he called 911 and then the two women from the SUV attacked his mother before eventually walking off the property.

Sheldon said he went into the house with his mother and father. His mother made coffee and the three of them sat silently as they waited for the police to show up. Sheldon said all three Stanleys were arrested, but that he and his mother were later allowed to go.
