Woman, 84, accused of shooting toward children

Northern California sheriff ’s officials say an 84-year-old woman was arrested on suspicion of shooting toward her neighbor’s children because they were being too noisy.

Authorities in Redding say Betty Frances Sanders fired a handgun Friday in the direction of the youngsters between the ages of 8 and 10 after complaining about the noise from their motorcycles. Nobody was hurt.

The Redding Record Searchlight said the children’s mother told deputies she argued with Sanders before the woman opened fire.
