"There's a lady here with something that looks like a gun in her hand coming towards me. I had to run in the back," said the caller.

"Do you know this person?" asked the 911 operator.

"She lives down the road. She has something like a gun and trying to get at me, so I went in the back," said the caller. "It looks like a gun."

The caller said the woman followed her into the back yard.

"She said, 'You b****. Come over here,'" said the caller. "I'm just so nervous now."

The caller said she and the woman never had a dispute before, adding that the woman appeared to be on the phone.

Since 2008, BSO deputies responded to Davis' home 79 times for various reasons, including suspicious incidents, a mentally ill person, medical calls, information, breaking and entering and disturbances, among other things. Davis' sister said she suffered from depression and their mother had recently died.

The deputy who shot Davis was placed on administrative leave.
