As he was leaving the building, he met defendant and her brother, during which encounter defendant drew a gun and ordered him from the premises. Later that evening, Thompson returned to the area *528and again encountered the Steeles. He became embroiled with defendant’s brother and, according to all of the prosecution witnesses, was shot twice in the leg by defendant. Thompson claimed that a knife appeared in Steele’s hand and that during the fight, he was shot by defendant and then stabbed by her brother.
