"Mum jailed for firing air gun in row of vandals"

Three months in jail for firing a warning shot into the ground when confronted by a gang? Is this serious? Where were the British police?

A MOTHER who opened fire with a pellet gun after "yobbos" launched a campaign of vandalism against her family was jailed for three months today.

Linda Walker, 48, who teaches children with behavioural problems, had the gun in her underwear drawer after her shed was broken into.

A confrontation with a gang of youths drove her to fire the weapon at the pavement near one teenager's feet.
