We spoke with her via phone today and she recounted for us a horrific experience. Jomarie Lanza Reports.

A mother of two is living in fear after the father of her children allegedly pulled a gun on her last night. She claims he attempted to shoot her in front of her children. Dalia Cabal's life was spared, however, when the gun jammed.

The incident happened here at this two storey house in Santa Cruz village, and the victim says that it all started when her ex common law husband, Vincent Scott, who is also the chairman of Santa Cruz village, came by to find a maintenance man working in the house. Cabral says he became enraged and chased the man out from the house.

Voice of: Dalia Cabral, Assault Victim
"And Mr Scott Found him yesterday inside his house and that's when Mr Scott got a gun and chased the guy but the guy jumped out of the window and form that Mr Scott ran downstairs and he chased him with the gun and the whole neighborhood saw that. I don't understand why he would do something like that he already moved on and he already have a new born why are you disturbing my peace just because it's your house but the judge say, when him and I went through the judge, the judge said that I can stay here because it's over 7 years and this house is for you and the kids. Why does Scott always come here and thinks he can do whatever he wants with me because it's his house. I've tolerated him all my life I depended on him that's why he does what he does but after 8:00 last night he came again with the gun, the window was broken so he entered, the door was locked and he jumped inside and cranked his gun in front of the two kids I saw him so I just jumped from the back door downstairs and I ran to my neighbor where they were. Now my ankle is sprained and it's really hard and as I saw his vehicle go away I went and got my kids and we went and file a report and now they transferred the report to independence village."

Cabral and Scott have been separated for some time now, and since the incident she filed a report and is now filing for a protection order. She says that she is fearful that Scott will attempt to harm her and her children again.

"I thought it wouldn't have gotten this far but it went too far when he pulled that gun on me and that's why I had to do what I had to do right now."

"Please I just don't want anyone to judge me. They don't know what I am going through. I just want assistance. That's all from anyone it would be greatly appreciated."

We reached out to Scott for comment but received no answer.

Up until this evening, we had tried a number of times to get the Chairman's side of the story...
