In photographs and video footage of the incident, he wore a pink shirt, beige trousers and his feet were bare. With places to take cover, Bryant said he was not overly worried at that point, even when the man appeared to cock his weapon. Then Patricia McCloskey appeared from the front of the house holding a handgun. Bryant quickly became more concerned. "She had her finger on the trigger and looked nervous and I became a little bit more worried, as there were kids out there and she was sporadically pointing the gun at random people," he recalled.
