Sirens blaring, helicopter overhead, one of the suspects apparently wound up in her yard and she drew down on him, then accidentally pointed the gun at police and got shot by them... just winged, luckily.
Now she is in county jail, charged with attempted murder of a police officer. She may have fired a round in their direction, it's unclear as hell at this point. The charges will be drastically reduced, I predict.
Still, could have had a much worse outcome with her or a cop dead. I've often thought about this exact scenario, it happens all the time here wrt cops chasing people through yards, etc.

Saw this on the news this morning. It was suggested she possibly could not hear the officer's commands due to the helicopter traffic over the scene at the time. If you have a firearm and the police start paying attention to you dropping it is probably your best option.
The video of one of the hit & run perps in his fancy panties water the lawn to "blend" in like it was his house was priceless... "Pay no mind to me, just talking on the phone and watering my backyard grass in my underwear"... Pretty genius for such a dumb ass...
