NEWBERG, Ore. (AP) — Police say a 70-year-old Oregon woman ended an argument with her husband by firing five shots from a .38-caliber handgun into the floor of their home.

No one was hurt.

The Newberg-Dundee Police Department says officers responded Monday night to a 911 call from a man who said his wife had just fired a gun inside their home. The man met police outside the home. Officers later arrested Patricia Jean Hunter-Gross of Newberg for investigation of unlawful use of a weapon and menacing.

The Oregonian reports (http://bit.ly/p288hQ) that the man told police his wife fired the gun into the floor while he was in the bathroom.
