Video footage showed the moment the group surrounded Nikki Bullock’s car, the NBC report continued:
A motorcyclist, identified as Heron, wearing a helmet is seen leaving his bike to jump on the back of the sedan, shattering the window. What appears to be a handgun drops from his waistband and he then appears to wave it at Bullock as she emerges from the car, then headbutts and pushes her as she confronts him.
Heron admitted that he was responsible for initiating the altercation with Bullock after getting off his motorcycle, jumping on her car and smashing her window causing shards of glass to fall on top of her two children that were inside, officials said.
The man also admitted brandishing a gun at Bullock when she exited the vehicle to protect the young children who were inside it. Bullock was making a food delivery and turning into a lane when the incident occurred, per Breitbart News.
Following the altercation, Bullock said her decision to stand firm “was just the simple fact that I had kids in the car. I just wanted to protect them, honestly”:
