After Hargrove fired one shot, Hodges said he didn't drop the gun."The gun was a little bit too much for him," Hodges said. "He kind of went around like he was going for the manager, then I guess he changed his mind."The woman, whose name was not released, was hospitalized, but her injury was not life-threatening.
