The backstory:

During the argument in the garage between Carr and his ex-wife, deputies say she feared for her life and grabbed a knife to defend herself.

Carr then went into the house to get the gun. When he returned, he showed the gun in his waistband and allegedly said, "I’d kill you if I could get away with it."

The victim was not hit by the bullet.
