30. She fired thru a wall into the living room where the man and boys were.

May 2012

She was in the kitchen when she fired the gun.

She was later out on bail and ignored a court order not to have contact with her husband. She ignored that order and allegedly discussed with her husband about what he was to say in his disposition so that she wouldn't be prosecuted. In their final meeting, she attacked her husband who called 911 and she was arrested again and her bail revoked.
