The incident began when Shaun Pitta sent pictures of his penis to a female veteran on the same device her 3 and 5-year-old children use. The veteran did not know the man, it was a completely random act. She became enraged and made a post about it, a fight ensued, this is the moment when William Allen jumps in.

Allen decided to attack the female veteran. He first doxes her, which is the practice of posting the home address of a person online, and then loosely implies that Shaun Pitta is on his way to kill her. This is a serious threat, as Pitta has a conviction for a serious firearms offense.
