Witnesses said Lynn aggressively confronted Williams, the driver of the other car.
A witness described how Lynn tried to hit Williams and how witnesses got in between them.

The documents say police reviewed surveillance video from a nearby business and it appears to contradict Williams’ account, alleging Williams may have grabbed his gun before he was ever punched.
News4 has not obtained that video and has not been able to review it.
Correction (12:14 p.m. Friday, Dec. 16, 2022): An earlier version of this story misstated the charges Williams faces. The U.S. Attorney's Office says Williams faces a weapons charge.
