"You know better than to pull up at my house," Gaffney said. "Get the out of here before you get hurt."

The woman recording worked to ease tensions between Gaffney and her friend after a recent breakup. He wanted them gone.

Gaffney can be heard saying, "I'm telling you go!"

The women were determined to settle things and pick up their belongings. The camera kept rolling as prosecutors say, Gaffney fired more shots -- this time from a BB gun.
