A man in El Paso County, Colorado, was arrested Wednesday after a bizarre domestic dispute that climaxed with him pointing a gun at his juvenile daughter and challenging her to a duel, police said.
Police say Robert Williams, 37, was arguing with his daughter, whose name and age have not been released, at around 7.20pm when he pulled a handgun on her and his wife.
He is then alleged to have commanded his daughter to go get a gun from another room and take part in a duel - which she did, a spokeswoman, told ABC 7.
After the girl had retrieved the gun a struggle ensued in which the father fired a round, according to a release by the El Paso County Sheriff's Office.
The daughter then returned fire, shooting once in the direction of the father, the release said.
Neither party was injured in the duel, but as the daughter, wife and at least one other child attempted to flee the house, Williams allegedly went to a shed and grabbed a second gun.
He pointed that gun at the wife, but she was able to wrestle it from his grasp and call 911, police said.
She then took the children to a neighbor's house.
Police then headed to the couple's home on the 6200 block of South Calhan Road, where Williams was arrested.
He has been charged with two counts of felony menacing, prohibited use of a weapon and child abuse.
The names and ages of his wife, daughter and other children have not been released.
