According to a report in the Tyler Morning Telegraph, the armed and heavily tattooed Aziz—who was wearing camouflage fatigue pants, camo boots, a black T-shirt and a tactical vest—was sweating profusely when he launched into a rant about being a "man of Islam."

Aziz then reportedly started yelling about "how his god had authorized him to take lives" and that it was okay for him to kill "infidels."

In response to Aziz's aggressive behavior, Johnson—a former parole officer—was said to have done the very opposite. He got between Aziz and the door, asked him to calm down and offered him a prayer and cool drink. (Screengrab via KETK)

"I never gave him the power of feeling he was in control [or] that I was frightened," said Johnson. "I was very cautious not to raise my voice or make any quick moves."
