NASHVILLE, Tenn. — A Tennessee woman is accused of firing her gun into the air during an argument outside a Nashville bar, striking a person sleeping on the couch in her apartment, authorities said.

Jonerica Johnson, 28, was charged with reckless endangerment, resisting arrest, disorderly conduct, public intoxication and possession of a handgun while under the influence, according to WKRN-TV.

The dispute inside the bar spilled outside, and police said Johnson pulled out a pistol and fired a single shot into the air, the television station reported. She then crossed the street and fired two more shots into the air.

Police said one of the shots struck a 48-year-old woman inside her apartment across the street, WZTV-TV reported. Investigators said the bullet entered the base of the victim’s apartment woman at an upward angle and went through the arm of the couch, striking the woman in the leg while she slept, the television station reported.

The woman was taken to an area hospital, where she was treated and released, WKRN reported.

Police working with the Entertainment District Initiative located Johnson and arrested her, WZTV reported. She later posted $10,000 bail, the television station reported.

Don’t bother looking; you KNOW who it is.

[drSteve78]

Someone who does NOT understand physics, especially the Laws of Gravity.

Isaac Newton is perpetually unhappy... a LOT of people don’t know the Laws of Gravity, it seems.

The bullet hit the victim on the way up, not down.

...the bullet entered the base of the victim’s apartment woman at an upward angle and went through the arm of the couch, striking the woman in the leg while she slept...

Looks like the reporter mixed up some words unless there's such a thing as a "base of a victim's apartment woman."

[CaptainPhilFan]

The bullet went through the wall of the building and hit the vic, it didn’t fall from the sky. Gravity had nuthin to do with it.

Did she win the argument?

[Carriage Hill]

She’s going to jail; I think she lost on all fronts.

[coloradan]

If it hit the woman on the way up, and she did indeed fire the shot in question, then she didn’t fire the gun “up in the air”, as reported, she fired it “directly at the building”.

This is a horribly written article. Did Bob graduate for college?

[bramps]

A bar that delivers shots.

Is Nashville becoming Memphis?

She must have fired it at an angle, not nearly straight up. A falling bullet could cause injuries, not should has a much lower velocity.

“In the air?”

More inputs needed.

Well, that's very clear. Modern journalism at its finest.
