WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) - A woman who was angry because her husband wanted her to turn up the heat pulled out a gun and shot their flat-screen TV while he cowered behind a pillow, Macomb County authorities say.

 

The 65-year-old man called 911 Sunday night from the basement of their Washington Township home, about 25 miles north of Detroit.

 

"My wife's got a gun. She's shooting at me," Joseph Grucz said in the recorded call.

 

He told the operator that Cheryl Grucz, 61, was angry because he wanted the heat turned up. She fired a round while he hid his head in a pillow, striking the plasma TV, then went upstairs, the Detroit Free Press said.

 

"She's all excited about it because she's so cheap," the husband said.

 

His wife, who had picked up another extension, told the operator she wanted to tell her side.

 

"I'm not going to hurt him. He has pushed me over the edge, that was all," Cheryl Grucz said, according to a recording obtained by WXYZ-TV. "He has had a stroke, and he's taking it all out on me."

 

"No I'm not," her husband said.

 

"Yes, he is," she told the dispatcher.

 

Cheryl Grucz was arraigned Monday in Romeo District Court on a charge of assault with intent to do great bodily harm, a charge with a top penalty of 10 years in prison. She also faces a felony firearms charge. Grucz was freed on $50,000 bond until a preliminary examination Jan. 15.

 

The judge also ordered her to enroll in a domestic violence program, WDIV-TV said.

pissy much?

It is a result of her own past negative Karma. She got what she gave.

I'm sure there is a side to her story... maybe living with hubby's negative karma got to her.

Or maybe they have an abusive relationship, and he's the victim.

Well that has already been suggested - that's what the husband said and what the article said but like I said - I'd like to hear her side - which the article didn't really give - I'm not defending what she did - IMO you should only fire a gun in self defense. But, if she had been caring for someone recovering from a stroke the sad reality is that kind of stress can get to you. Caregiving is stressful anyone that doesn't think so has never done it.

Where was this? I didn't see any of that. And I just reread the article to see if I missed something.

 

but like I said - I'd like to hear her side - which the article didn't really give

 

And no one said that you can't.

 

- I'm not defending what she did - IMO you should only fire a gun in self defense.

 

Agreed.

If that's even the case. For all we know, she said that to try to keep the cops from coming. Like a false "this is a misunderstanding, he doesn't know what he's talking about" kind of thing.

But would it take a bullet for you? That would be product loyalty - reversed! :lol:
