Mann cooperated with the investigation and said he and Treichel had smoked marijuana around 8 p.m. Saturday night. He said they were inside the house playing video games and talking about guns, then went out to the garage to continue talking without waking anyone else up.

In the garage, Mann said they were handling two handguns when Treichel "said he can dodge a bullet," according to the arrest report. They then unloaded the guns, and Mann pointed one of the guns at Treichel and pulled the trigger. Mann said Treichel would "jump out of the way to prove he could move before the trigger was pulled." Mann said they did this about six times before a round was fired from the gun, hitting Treichel in the chest.
