[Anthony]

A 60-year-old woman was arrested after she allegedly pointed a rifle at a 11-year-old neighbor as he played his clarinet in the backyard.
Sheriff's in Colorado responded to a call in the Rocky Mountain city of Grand Junction after Cheryl Pifer allegedly told the boy, who was doing his music class homework at the time, to "get his ass back inside."
Mesa County Sheriff’s Office said at the time of the incident there were five other kids in the yard and the boy’s grandmother instructed them to get back in the house.
“The boys saw Cheryl at the door with the gun aimed at them. They stated that Cheryl yelled numerous times ‘fire in the hole’. They quickly ran inside the home and called 911,†the police report stated.
The deputy who arrived to the scene said he is "very familiar" with the suspect and reported she was drunk.
The officers discovered a seven mm Mauser rifle next to the door with two rounds in its magazine. Pifer was booked on four counts of felony menacing, seven counts of reckless child abuse/no injury, one count of prohibited use of a weapon.
Pifer has been released on a $5,000 bond and is due to appear in court on September 19.

That just shows, if you cannot handle your liquor than you do not need to drink. That woman could have hurt one of those children if not killed one or more. There should be some type of law that does not allow drunks to handle an armed weapon.

Damn scary woman, pointing a gun into a boy's face is clearly over reacting, really glad she got arrested.

Either she has a mental problem or she is on some very nasty drugs. That kind of reaction is very unexpected especially from a woman. I hope she doesn't have kids of her own to abuse.
