As per the report Durk's son got out of the car and pushed Pippens. He admitted to his mother having a gun but also claimed that it did not go off. When his step-father's gun dropped to the ground following a confrontation with the boy's mom, the 10-year-old picked it up and shot Joshua Pippens to protect his mom.
The boy said the couple often yelled at each other and that his mother got "really mad, really fast." DCS requested the removal of the 10-year-old and his two siblings from their mother's custody.
