Hawkins woman allegedly fires at seven people, including children, for turning around in driveway

34. Totally agree

Having grown up in the 70s and 80s in VERY rural WV I was shot at for riding my bicycle up the wrong holler road more than once. Granted I don't think they were shooting to HIT me, just letting me know I needed to get off their land.

I remember playing up on a mountain top in a field one day when I heard this buzzing sound, then another, then another. The old man who owned the field I was in was on the other ridge with his rifle, sitting in his rocking chair, on his front porch taking pot shots at me.

No one called the cops, no one freaked out, in fact no one thought this was anything out of the ordinary. That's a cultural divide that most people on DU will have had no exposure to at all.

Now I'm not saying this lady wasn't nuts. There really isn't enough information here for me to determine that, but I am saying that people could really misinterpret her actions.
