Bell says he shot one more time.
"To make sure they knew I meant business, but I was not trying to hit anybody," said Bell.
Bell says he went inside. Arriving officers found a 32-year-old woman suffering from a gunshot wound. While lifesaving efforts were performed, the woman died at the scene.
Bell says he was threatened and was protecting himself and his mother.
"I still feel bad and tears come out of my eyes every time I think about it," Bell said.

Not only is Bell consumed with grief, he's filled with questions that may never be answered.
"We haven't robbed or taken anything for anybody," Bell said. "Why would they want to take something from us?"
At last check, Milwaukee police are still investigating the shooting.
The Milwaukee County District Attorney's Office has not released whether or not Bell will face any charges.
