Witnesses state they were having a birthday party when Jones pulled up and parked next to a tree. One witness says they saw Jones hold something up and began to hear clicking noises. After a few more clicking sounds, they were able to identify Jones had allegedly began pulling the trigger on a firearm repeatedly causing the hammer to strike the firing pin on an empty chamber. Witnesses told law enforcement Jones was aiming in the direction where children would be in the line of fire.
