He pulled out a Bushmaster hunting rifle and a handful of ammo and strode toward the detail bay, where a red 2004 Ferrari 360 Spider was parked.
Customers and employees ran from the showroom on another side of the business.
Troy fired a warning shot into a wall.
"I'm taking this car," he said.
The store's owner approached as he sat in the driver's seat, but when he saw the gun, he ran, too.
The keys to Troy's $310,000 dream ride were at his fingertips, in the ignition. He tried and tried to turn the starter. He didn't realize that the car wouldn't start unless the driver pressed a security button on the key fob.
He stormed into the service area.
"How do you start the car? How do you start it?" he screamed.
The employees saw him coming and locked all the doors.
"How does it start?" he screamed again.
He fired eight rounds into a glass door and stepped through it.
The parts manager didn't run fast enough.
He forced her to the ground and held the gun to her head.
He demanded, again, "How do you start the car? How do you start it?"
She didn't know and he let her go.
He bolted back to the Spider.
By then, police arrived. They took cover and shouted at him to drop the gun.
Troy made it to the Ferrari as they closed in on him.
That's when police heard a single shot.
