23 year old Roy Wayne Trailor says
he didn't know what else to do.
I told them, I said,
get back.
Leave me alone.
They blocked the sidewalk, would not let
me pass.
Accompanied by his family trailer, turned
himself in to stare at Justice Center
today to explain how he wound up shooting
three of his neighbors last night, two of
them fatally. He says he was confronted
when the guy walked up to me,
took his jacket off
and threatened to
to kick my ass
and I begged up.
I did not try
to see if he had
a gun.
It was dark.
I was scared, I'm afraid.
Now, the shooting occurred at this house.
Trailer says the occupants have
threatened him and his family before.
He says the occupants felt that he was
responsible for telling police about
alleged drug activity at the house and
wanted to retaliate.
He says he was walking his dog last night
when two, then three other occupants
cornered him
and saw surrounded my brother
so they can start to get my father
trailer.
TR ny Dallas
police are looking for trailers since
last night's shooting.
He's charged with murder, capital murder
and aggravated assault.
The only reason that I had a gun is
because there threatened me before
to shoot me for calling the police on the
officer.
That's the only reason I had
relatives of the deceased man refused to
comment on their side of the story.
Roy Trailor is confident he can prove
himself in court.
