"I heard one shot like ‘pow’ and then after that ‘pow pow’ behind it like three shots," Harding recalled to Breaking Celebrity News.
Fearing for her life, Harding described the frantic situation.
"So I said ‘it sounded like a gunshot’ then I heard two more times, I heard three shots I said 'I think that's gun fire' and I just took off and got in my house."
Jace and his wife had been married since 2003 and have two young children.
Los Angeles Police Department officers on the scene confirmed to Breaking Celebrity News that the children are in the custody of April's parents. Their dog, a friendly German Shepherd, remained in the back yard but authorities told Breaking Celebrity News the family was coming to take care of the pet.
Joan Lewis, the neighbor on the other side of his Hyde Park, Los Angeles home, told Breaking Celebrity News exclusively that she saw Michael in handcuffs outside the home next to a police car on Monday night.
