However, the gun did not fire.

Billy Brooks posted the video on social media.

"What seemed like a very methodical plan to kill us both didn't follow through simply because he missed one step, and that was going ahead and loading his weapon," he said.

The suspect is now facing multiple crimes, including pointing a gun, trespassing and stalking.

The gunman had apparently been to the same home on three separate occasions.
