Errol, who was recently in the news after The U.S. Sun reported that he claimed that he had another unplanned child with his stepdaughter of 35 years. “As soon as they saw me, they started shooting at me.”
“They opened their arms to me. Three of them were killed. Two were killed by a single bullet.
“I took out the first man through his head. He was found by police with his head cap missing.
“I used hollow point ammunition. The round burst and the shrapnel struck the man behind him in his chest.
“They ran as soon as I fired my first shot.”
