WATERLOO, N.Y. (WROC) — It was 2:20 a.m. Tuesday when Steven Lindon heard a knock on the door that only his family knew. "I opened and unlocked the door, and he just shoved his way in," Lindon explained to News 8 Wednesday. "He's 6' 4," 350 pounds. So, he knocked me out of the way and ran into the house, and I had a rifle in my living room in a clip full of bullets. He grabbed that first, and then he told me he wanted my debit card." Once the man made his purchase, Lindon said the man got the rifle, put the clip in it, loaded a bullet in, and shot it towards Lindon's feet. "The gun went off. Scared my cats. I knew he was losing his mind, you know, just a crazy guy. He's so big I couldn't... I was defenseless against him," Lindon said.

"He wanted my PIN numbers for my gun safe, and I gave him the wrong one, and he tried it, and it wouldn't open," Lindon explained. "He came over, he'd already pushed me down into the kitchen floor, so he came over and started hammering on my face with his big fists, and I gave him a different password, and that didn't work. You know, he gave him two bogus passwords, and after that didn't unlock it, he came back over and pounded on me some more, and I had a gun in my pocket, and I thought, 'Well, I'm not going to shoot somebody anyway.' The third time I gave him the correct password, the gun safe unlocked, and I ran out the front door just to get out. I knew he was dangerous. So, I got out of the house and one, two or three trailers down and hid behind their trailers." After Linton got to safety, he was taken to the hospital. "I'd already been brought to the hospital, I found out that there was an active shooter situation at my trailer, and he went into his own trailer and then he went next door to the trailer next to me, and he forced that guy to use his telephone, and he wanted money from that guy. That guy didn't have any money, you know, so he came back to my house, and that's when the gunfire started erupting," Lindon said. Security camera footage provided by Lindon shows the moments Randy Mark Davis Jr. shot at officers Tuesday morning during the armed standoff. This, according to New York State Police. Davis Jr. barricaded himself in a home with his family until officers used gas to get him out. No first responders were injured. Davis Jr. was taken into custody. While that was happening, Lindon was getting evaluated at the hospital. "They did a CAT scan, they said I had a bleed on both sides of my brain, and they said I had two fractures on my nose," he said. As well as broken ribs, and bruising on the arms from the impact of the punches. "He just kept, kept hammering me in the face. You know, I'm lucky to have my left eye. You know, it looks pretty bad," Lindon said. "It looks awful, but I think it's going to heal. It's just going to take time, you know, yeah, I think I got a couple broken ribs that's hurting me more than anything. The broken ribs are painful." But how did Davis Jr. know the knock only family would recognize? "He must have been familiar with my son knocking on the door. You know, he's been in my house. I can't get rid of him. You know, sometimes he just comes over and wants to drink with me," Lindon said. Lindon told News 8 he and Davis Jr. have a years-long relationship. Lindon explained he helped Davis Jr. out during hard times. "It's just a nightmare. I didn't think he'd ever do that. I knew he was kind of nuts. But I mean, after spending four years supporting his whole family," Lindon started to explain. And while Lindon waits for his body to repair, he has to think about his house as well. "All my windows are shot out my doors. There's glass all over my floor. All throughout the house is damaged, you know, he pulled my fridge out from the wall to have a place to hide from the police bullets, and he tipped my dining table over like that was going to stop a bullet," he said. To help, Lindon's daughter set up a GoFundMe to help with the restoration costs for Lindon's home, as well as the medical bills. He said the support from the community is overwhelming. "I got a contractor willing to replace all my windows and doors and clean up all the broken glass inside my house, and the GoFundMe cash will buy the windows and doors that I need," Lindon said. "I've got a local restaurant offering to feed me for 10 days. A lot of the people I see donating, I don't even know them, you know, they're just out of the kindness of their heart. Just makes me want to cry." He's keeping up a positive attitude — and is determined to get over this and get his house rebuilt. "Today I've spent recuperating. My skin is all ripped up on my arms from blocking punches," Lindon said. "I don't care to see him ever again. I may go to his hearing and show him my eye. I'm sure it won't be healed by the time he goes to court. I want to go there and let him know what he did to me." Investigators said Davis Jr. is a two-time convicted felon and has no right to own or process firearms in New York State. Davis Jr. will be charged with three counts of attempted aggravated assault on a police officer and three counts of menacing a police officer. ...read more read less
