#White woman who pulled gun on black family says she feared for her life

The white woman who was arrested after pointing a gun at a black woman and her daughter during an argument in a Chipotle parking lot says she did it because she feared for her life, according to a report Friday.

In the first time since footage of the heated confrontation surfaced, Jillian Wuestenberg spoke out about pulling the firearm — saying she felt threatened because the duo blocked her from leaving a Michigan Chipotle, according to 7 Action News.

“Within moments, a second or two, I had multiple people within two feet of me and I just remember thinking, ‘I am not going home tonight,’” Jillian, 32, tearfully told the local station.

“It’s scary…The more I see [the video] the more I realize I’m more afraid of that situation now than I was then.”

Asked why she felt the need to load a bullet into the gun’s chamber, she said, “That meant I am about to die and I don’t want to die.”

The tense encounter erupted when Wuestenberg allegedly bumped into Takelia Hill’s 15-year-old daughter, Makayla Green, while leaving the restaurant in Lake Orion at around 6 p.m. on July 1.

The footage, which doesn’t show the alleged bump, picks up after the altercation spilled into the parking lot — and shows Hill and her daughter demand an apology, with the teen calling her “racist and ignorant.”

Wuestenberg and her husband, Eric, then get into their SUV and try to back out of the parking spot as Hill steps back before hitting the back window of the vehicle — claiming she thought the driver was going to hit them.

That’s when Wuestenberg hopped out of the car and pointed a loaded gun at the mother and daughter.

Both Wuestenbergs are each facing an assault charge —  which Hill’s lawyer, Christopher Quinn, said is much-deserved.

“She was able to get into the vehicle,” Quinn told the station. “They were able to drive off. They didn’t choose to drive off. They actually almost hit my client with their van. And then jumped out like Bonnie and Clyde with guns pointed at them. They were going to make sure it was understood they were the ones in charge.”

In the interview, Wuestenberg also said she didn’t think twice about pulling the weapon because she has experience with firearms.

“I grew up around lots of handguns, lots of rifles,” she said. “They are just an everyday part of life. It was just something that was there.”
