Was a Crime Committed

My sister called yesterday to tell me about a strange happening in her neighborhood. A neighbor called her to explain why the deputy sheriff was in another neighbors yard. He told my sister that he was mowing his yard about sunset when he heard a series of gunshots coming from a neighbors house. He ran to the house and knocked on the door, the woman inside ordered him to go away. So he did and called the sheriff's office. The deputy sheriff was sent out to the house. The woman wouldn't come out at first, but finally did. She wasn't cooperative but the deputy talked her into telling him what the gunshots were about. The woman said a man had come to her window for several nights calling a woman's name and she shot to drive him away. The deputy went into the house to investigate and found sixteen gunshots in the ceiling of her bedroom. Evidently he thought the woman was a mental case and removed her to a mental facility to be checked out.
