"I was getting stuff out of the back seat of my car and suddenly he was there and he had a paintball gun and he was... and then he was going to shoot at me and I kept asking him what he was doing. So, I could tell it was a paintball thing. And then he just kept doing it. So, I yelled for my husband and then he took off running around the back of my house," Tammy is heard saying on a 911 call.
"What is your name?," the dispatcher asks.
"My name is Tammy Daybell," she replies.
