Florida woman opens fire on 'too loud' house guests
A Florida woman opened fire on her house guests
because they were "too loud" and had overstayed
their welcome, police say.

Alana Annette Savell, 32, was hosting a couple at
her Panama City home when the visitors apparently
became noisy.

Police say she ordered them to go, before shooting
the man and woman in the legs. The victims went to
hospital with non life-threatening injuries.

Ms Savell has been charged with aggravated battery
by a firearm.

Bay County Sheriff's Office told the BBC the
female victim had turned up with a male friend,
whom she had just met in a bar, at the accused's
home at around 01:00 local time on Monday.

Ms Savell told police her hospitality began to
wear thin after her guests began drinking and
raising their voices.

But instead of dropping a hint by yawning or
loading the dishwasher, she armed herself with a
22-calibre handgun and shot at her guests' feet,
officials said.

As well as shooting the woman, Kristy Jo Mohr, in
both legs in the incident, and her companion, who
went by name "Cowboy", Ms Savell's own boyfriend
was struck by a bullet in the leg.

Ms Mohr told police she believed eight or nine
shots were fired in total.

Bay County Sheriff's Office said: "The victim (Ms
Mohr) stated she felt herself get hit in the legs
and ran away from the home and got into a
vehicle.

"Savell stated that the victim and her friend had
come to her home to hang out and began drinking
and getting too loud.

"Savell stated she did not want them in her house
and started shooting at their feet.

"The suspect's boyfriend stated to investigators
that he has told his girlfriend that once someone
is told to leave their property three times, she
is to go get the gun and shoot it at the ground.

"If that does not work, she is to shoot people in
the leg."

Ms Savell remains in custody at the county jail.
