TEXAS- A woman was arrested after she allegedly pointed a loaded gun at a 7-year-old trick-or-treating, police say.

Police were called to a neighborhood around 7:20 p.m. for a report of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, according to the Hays County Sheriff’s Office, Fox 7 Austin reported.

Police say Monica Ann Bradford, 35, was yelling at trick-or-treaters outside of her home.

Bradford allegedly came outside of her residence with a loaded gun, and pointed it at the child, who was walking in front of her property, police say.
