“Oksana claims that after Mel hit her, she escaped outside and ran barefooted to the outdoor area at the home, near the pool,” said the source.
Mel suddenly disappeared and went into his bedroom.
“When Mel disappeared, Oksana said she ran back inside to find her car keys so she could leave the house,” the source told RadarOnline.com exclusively.
"That’s when Mel re-emerged holding the gun and began waving it in front of Oksana’s face, she has told investigators.
“Oksana said she was panicked and while searching for the keys, Mel came up to her and said, ‘I will show you how to get out of here fast,’ which she interpreted to be a death threat.”
Oksana then grabbed Lucia, fled to her car and escaped Mel’s compound, RadarOnline.com was told.
