A Disturbance
Monday I was in the dispatch office near the end of the shift getting some paperwork. One of the dispatchers got a call on 9-1-1. She began typing information into the computer and from her side of the conversation I could tell it was a disturbance with a gun involved and that it was in a not so nice part of town.
The dispatcher dispatched the officer whose beat the call was on and I went along as his assist officer. The dispatcher told us that a woman in a car had pointed a gun at a woman walking in the road and that the woman in the road had pointed a gun back at her.
While we were in route the dispatcher was able to get a name on one of the people involved. I recognized the name, she is an older lady I have dealt with before.
We pulled up on scene and spoke with the lady that had been walking and her neighbor. The neighbor did most of the talking. The lady that had been walking was very intoxicated. The neighbor told us her friend did not have a gun that the lady in the car did. She went on to say the problem stemmed from the friend and lady in the car having been married to the same man. The friend was his first wife and the lady in the car was the second wife. The man is now deceased.
Anyway the second wife needed some paperwork taken care of for a car she had with the man. Evidently it was registered in his and the first wife's name. The second wife became angry that the first wife did not want to sign the paperwork and threatened her with a gun.
There were some teenagers standing in the yard of a house close by so we went to talk to them. They were laughing as they told the story. They said "an old lady drove by and pointed a gun at the other lady then drove by us and said I'll give you some of this as she held her gun in the air."
They thought it was quite funny because of the age of the two women, the woman in the car was 59 and the other was in her 70's.
We then went to the second wife's house which was just a few blocks away. She tried lying to us about what happened and denied having a gun. Then she showed us the gun, it was a BB pistol.

We talked with her for a while and could not talk any sense into her. Then we went back and talked to the first wife. We couldn't talk any sense in her either partially because she was so intoxicated. I don't think she really understood what was going on.
We ended up just telling the ladies to leave each other alone since no one wanted to cooperate with us.
