Female 'shot at neighbour after denied kiss'

'A 92-year-old US woman has been arrested for allegedly shooting at her neighbour after he refused to give her a kiss.

Gun-toting grandmother Helen Staudinger fired her 350 semi-automatic pistol at 53-year-old Dwight Bettner when he rejected her advances, WESH.com reported.

Mr Bettner had asked her to leave his home, in Marion County, Florida, but she said she would only go if he kissed her. She left angry when the man declined, telling her to "get your [expletive] out my house", it is claimed.

The police arrest report added: "She appeared to have the impression that there was a relationship between them.

"The defendant said she came home, got her gun, and went back to shoot his car that he loved so much."'
