"It was supposed to be just a fight; he even texted me on my phone, 'No weapons, no guns, no nothing. Just fists.' I said, 'That's the plan,'" Grossman told 11 News.

The fight was supposed to happen at Grossman's home. When Rogers arrived with two friends, he allegedly got out his pistol and fired several shots. At that point, Grossman said he ran away from his home and into the woods to protect his family.

Rogers was arrested, as was 19-year-old Leroy Henry, who police said was in the getaway car.

Grossman's mother, Amy Grossman, said she's happy her son wasn't hurt but is wondering why these teens didn't consider the consequences.

"How do you not know what your actions are going to get you, you know? It's not a video game. It's not, you know, fun and games. This is your life," she said.
