A Springfield woman is charged with attempted murder after allegedly
shooting two men after a dog damaged the Christmas decorations outside
her mobile home, detectives said Monday.
Ethel Shannon McKinney, 28, of 23277 Blood River Road is charged with
two counts of attempted second-degree murder and illegal use of a
weapon, said Jason Ard, spokesman for the Livingston Parish Sheriff's
Office.
Ard says McKinney and her boyfriend, 34-year-old Audie Ray Criswell, got
into an argument with two men over the damaged decorations. The dog
belongs to the two men. McKinney, who was inside her mobile home,
allegedly fired several shots at the men, who were standing outside, the
spokesman said.
One of the men was shot in the upper torso and arm. The other victim was
shot in his arm. Neither had life threatening injuries, Ard said. The
names of the victims were not released. The shootings happened around
9:30 p.m. Sunday.
Criswell was charged with disturbing the peace and two counts of
aggravated assault, Ard said.
