ALOHA, Ore. -- A woman who was taken to jail on Friday after firing a
shotgun blast into a wall during an alcohol-fueled argument over gun
control, police said.

Washington County Sheriff's Office Lt. Bob Ray says no one was hurt
but a neighbor's nearby house was damaged.

Officials say Susan Fleming argued with her 55-year-old boyfriend
Friday night after learning he had brought his loaded 12 gauge shotgun
into their Aloha home. Part of the argument included a discussion on
gun safety, including how to properly handle a loaded firearm.

Police say Fleming intentionally fired the shotgun and blew out a hole
in a wall about the size of a softball. They say she wasn't trying to
shoot her boyfriend, who was in the room.

Sierra Hungate, who lives next door, said she heard a loud noise, but
didn't realize it was a gunshot.

"I was just sitting on the couch watching TV and I head a 'boom,' and
I thought maybe something was knocked over upstairs," she said. "It
wasn't until the next day when the cops showed up that they told me
that she had shot off her gun that I realized that's what I had
heard."

Fleming was arrested and taken to the Washington County Jail. She
faces charges of unlawful use of a weapon, menacing, recklessly
endangering another person and criminal mischief.



Teaklanner Republican, for sure.
