Arizona rancher says he stared down barrel of AK-47 when he fired warning shots 'over the trees'

Arizona rancher George Alan Kelly said men came towards his home with an AK-47 aimed at him the day he was arrested for murder.

"He turned towards me … pointed the AK at me. And that’s when — everybody says was the dumbest thing I ever did — they said you should have shot him because he was getting ready to shoot you," Kelly told NewsNation.

Instead, he told the news outlet that he "shot over the tree, over the top of his head, and thank God him and the other guys ran."
