GASTONIA, N.C. (QUEEN CITY NEWS) — A woman was cited Monday after she was accused of
shooting at Mountain Dew bottles in a Gastonia neigh- borhood because she “didn’t approve” of her father drinking
them, according to police.
Police said offi- cers responded to reports of multiple gunshots in a res- idential neighbor-
hood Monday where they found a 64-year-old woman with a revolver in her backyard.
The woman was
reportedly shoot- ing at four diet Mountain Dew bottles, the offi- cers said.
Police said the woman told offi- cers she was shooting at the bottles because she didn’t approve of her father drinking the soda.
“We totally under- stand that not everybody is a fan of the Dew but we can’t stress enough how dangerous this is!” Gastonia Police said in a news release. “There are much safer alternatives to alternatives to
disposing of bev- erages that you don’t like instead of using the full bottles as target practice...in your backyard... in your neighbor- hood... surround- ed by other homes and peo- ple.”
Authorities said the woman was issued a criminal citation for dis- charging a firearm in the Gastonia City limits.
“Remember peo- ple, guns and Diet Mountain Dew don’t mix!” police said.
