Sounds like you have one that I would not keep. Like Rachel, if he attacks a kid he is gone. I don’t use a shotgun, I use a hatchet and prepare him for the kitchen, but the end result is that he is gone.
For some reason, yours sounds high-strung. Mine do not get agitated at normal activity in or around the coop, but if I am doing something strange or unusual, yeah, they can get a little nervous, especially if I have something unusual in my hand. It’s not him standing there and yelling at me, more of a sound much like the egg song, which is a sign they are nervous. The hens can do that too. If I’m carrying a feed bucket, no problem. If I am carrying a tiny camera, that is a threat. They are not used to the camera.
It’s possible you could teach him to leave you alone. It’s possible your husband could teach him to leave him alone. It’s possible your daughter could teach him to leave her alone if she is willing and able to put him in his place herself. Even then, he would be a danger to any other individual that has not taught him to respect them. And it’s possible he will behave for a week or two, then attack when your back is turned. The one that I did not keep learned to leave me alone, though it took some effort and he did try some surprise attacks. But he still attacked my wife or any other stranger that came around without provocation. That really wasn’t a hard decision for me.
That’s the only one I’ve ever had a serious problem with. Occasionally I have a young one that will challenge me once or twice, but he quickly learns to not attack any human and we get along fine.
I don’t treat them as pets. I know some people handle them all the time and don’t have problems, but I don’t do that. The only time I handle them is when I am checking them for mites or lice, something like that. When I check the entire flock, I lock them all in the coop and catch and examine the dominant rooster first, then toss him out in the run. That way he does not have to see me handling his hens which might arouse his protective instincts. I don’t go out of my way to provoke my rooster, but if I need to catch a specific chicken in the run when he is there, I just grab the fishing net and get the chicken. It really hasn’t been a problem.
I don’t know why some roosters get human aggressive. Some seem to be born that way, no matter how they are raised. For some it is a learned response. I remember a story a few years back on here where someone had a rooster that was fine until his 5 year old boy started imitating the rooster’s dance to the rooster the way the rooster did to the hens. That threatened the rooster’s dominance and he attacked any kid from them on whenever he saw them. That rooster was provoked, but from then on no kid was safe.

. Now to explain to my daughter who is an animal lover even though he attacked her. Will have to tell her that he "ran" away.
