BAM! BAM! BAM! until
BAM! – went straight back over her shoulder and right between his eyes!

I think the Bellevue cops had some difficult questions for her. I don’t remember if charges were filed.

Higgins or one of the other local marksmen can probably elaborate.

In any event, nostatic, I don't think it's smart to mix exes and firearms.
Basically true but...it wasn't her boyfriend. It was a church social event for singles. The way Jeff tells it (his friend/coworker was there) is that the chick had never handled a gun before and "the guys" thought it would be fun to have her fire a high caliber weapon (don't recall the size) with hot loaded rounds. Not exactly a good idea in retrospect.
