One day I was walking on the sidewalk. I saw an old dog on the driveway nearby. He looked at me and barked. I tried to run away because I was startled.

"He said, 'I don't know what you're doing here.' " She says she didn�t hear him say anything but that he had a gun in his hand.

"I thought, 'What's going wrong?' " he said later in a phone interview from his home outside of Los Angeles where they have been living together for more than 20 years
