Pippens, however, denied being the “aggressor” in the situation. He shared security footage of the incident on Instagram, stating that he still had his gun on his hip and that the boy grabbed it, following his mother’s lead, and shot him. Pippens emphasized the importance of viewing the footage before it potentially gets taken down.
“As y’all can see I was not the aggressor and y’all also can see how I still had my gun on my hip he grabbed my gun off my hip following his moms lead and tried to shoot me and then actually shot me I advise y’all see it before they take it down.” – Joshua Pippens
