In an interview with an FBI agent on Friday, Freeman said he heard someone say that the people in the vehicle had a gun. Freeman said Aaron Weatherby went upstairs, then came back downstairs with a .380 pistol, went to a kitchen window and tried to shoot at the vehicle. However, he only fired one shot because the weapon malfunctioned, and that shot struck the vehicle in the gas tank. Freeman said the Weatherby brothers and Kim Davis, who also was at the residence, yelled racial terms at the people in the vehicle as it drove by the residence. When the vehicle returned a short time later, Freeman said the Weatherby brothers ran upstairs. Freeman said he heard four or five shots fired, and he believed the Weatherby brothers were firing from an upstairs window in the residence. Freeman said left the house with Aaron Weatherby and went to a location in Vandalia, Mo., to hide, then later went to the residence of Aaron Weatherbys mother to hide the gun. Freeman said the gun was placed in a shoebox and put in a tool shed on the property. Bradley Weatherby later called Freeman and told him to get rid of the gun. Freeman said he and Aaron Weatherby were going to another location in Vandalia when a Vandalia police officer began to follow them but later quit. Freeman said he and Weatherby got nervous and talked about getting rid of the weapon quickly, so the weapon was thrown out a window in an isolated area off Highway P. A member of the Pike County Sheriffs Department found the weapon, a high-point .380 caliber semi-automatic black pistol, on March 12. Ricky Freeman........
