A Florida woman was arrested Monday after she opened fire on her house guests, whom she believed had overstayed their welcome, deputies said.
Alana Savell, 32, was booked into a panhandle jail on a charge of aggravated battery with a firearm.
Savell told deputies that the woman and her friend had come over to hang out, began drinking and were “getting too loud.” Savell said she didn’t want them in her house anymore, so she started shooting at their feet.
That sounds sane and reasonable… says no one ever.
Investigators said Savell’s boyfriend told them he has instructed her that “once someone is told to leave their property three times, she is to go get the gun and shoot it at the ground. If that does not work, she is to shoot people in the leg.”
Oh, but it gets better. The idiotic boyfriend who gave her this patently illegal advice was the immediate recipient of karmic justice, as he managed to catch one of Savell’s bullets.
The woman was taken to a Panama City-area hospital to be treated for a gunshot wound.
Police said Savell’s boyfriend was also shot in the leg.
It’s fortunate that she didn’t shoot him in the buttocks, as the brain damage would have been fatal.
I shouldn’t have to say this, but I’m going to do so anyway: firearms are not toys. Firearms are not warnings, or alarms, or celebratory items. They are deadly force weapons, and are to be used responsibly, or not at all. If you cannot wrap your mind around the fact that it is patently illegal to point a gun at another human being just because you find them annoying, then you are too stupid to own a gun. Period.
Shooting at the floor is only appropriate when you want to make someone dance.
Words fail me...
(Probably for the first time ever...)
I am honored!
It’s a thought worth remembering, especially this time of year.
It was wrong if there were folks living downstairs. Or dogs under the porch. Then you shoot toward the ceiling.
Duh.
“Ah dun tole y’all to LEAVE!”
Stop trying to impress folks here with your knowledge of Dutch and start speaking English.............Sheesh!
And she told them 3 Times!
LOL, I bet you’ve seen some strange things like this too.
Better reason than most.
Seems legit to me. Probably family.
Tolt’em not to take mah last beer and he went and done it. Twicet.
Heh .. who hasn’t been tempted?
I am going to go make some hot chocolate sans the Grand Marnier. You never know when you will have to shoot at someone.
I’m confused. It says she shot the boyfriend in the leg... then it says they took her to the hospital to be treated for the gunshot wound. Shouldn’t they have taken the guy who was shot?
An assault pistol.
I’m drinking wine. I don’t even know where the guns are, but I could put my hands on a spear and a Bowie knife (not to mention kitchen equipment) in a pinch. It’s nice to live in Boring.
I hope your cough improves!
Don't know about the boyfriend.
Funny story since everyone will live.
So...you’re not allowed to do that? Hmmm...may have to rethink plans for next cocktail party....
Yup, probably had the kung-fu grip!
