Jackson was visiting family in Kissimmee, Fla., just south of Orlando. His children were reportedly asleep during the confrontation. A witness grabbed a hold of Jackson to stop him from shooting, according to the arrest report.
When Jackson pulled the gun, his wife said, "You better be accurate because you ain't accurate on the field." She grabbed an iron and kitchen knife to protect herself.
