Police: Woman Arrested After Shooting At Opossum
TROY (AP) - Police in suburban Detroit say they arrested a 42-year-old woman who repeatedly shot at an opossum in a shopping center parking lot.
The Oakland Press of Pontiac and the Detroit Free Press report the woman, who is homeless, was found early Tuesday with a gun in her pocket. Police in Troy say they found 11 spent shell casings on the ground and the woman told them she was aiming for the animal.
Police say it didn't appear that the animal was shot, and the woman had a permit to carry a concealed weapon. No injuries were reported.
She was arrested for reckless discharge of a firearm.
