OCALA, Florida — An elderly Florida woman is accused of shooting at her neighbour's house in retaliation after he chose not to kiss her.

Helen Staudinger, 92, was arrested on Monday evening by police on a charge of discharging her gun at home.

WESH-TV reported that the incident happened after Staudinger visited the home of her neighbour, 53-year-old Dwight Bettner.

Bettner told police that his elderly neighbour mistakenly believes that he is "supposed to be her man", despite him already having a girlfriend.

He said that he told her to leave but that Staudinger responded that she would only leave if he kissed her. Bettner said that he angrily refused and told her to "get your [expletive] out my house."

She left and returned to her home, from where she fired shots at the house of Bettner. Four bullets struck the house, one of them missing Bettner by "mere inches."

He was unhurt.
