Embertson wasn\u2019t alone, he was accompanied by Kyle Thomas Nason, 18, and Cornelius Ayers Jr., 18.<\/p>\n<p>The trio searched the outside of the house, checking various doors and windows to see if they were locked around 7 a.m. Saturday. The noise from their searching woke up Pettersen who was sleeping in bed.<\/p>\n<p>Pettersen opened up the door and confronted Nason who was up on the deck. Nason jumped off the deck and broke his ankle. Pettersen went and grabbed his .45-caliber handgun before heading outside.<\/p>\n<p>The teens made their way back to the car. With Embertson in the driver seat, the trio drove in front of Pettersen who opened fire on the vehicle, shooting three times from a distance of about 10 feet. According to the police complaint, Pettersen said he was trying to shoot out the front driver&#8217;s side tire.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think I\u2019ve been hit,\u201d Embertson told his friends.
