CLIFTON, Colo. (AP) -- A western Colorado woman is accused of pointing a rifle at several children in a neighboring backyard because she was upset that an 11-year-old boy was playing his clarinet outside.

Mesa County sheriff's deputies believe 60-year-old Cheryl Ann Pifer of Clifton had been drinking before allegedly threatening the children Wednesday.

The Daily Sentinel ( http://bit.ly/1CZINu5 ) reports that the boy told Pifer he was practicing the clarinet as part of his homework and couldn't go back inside his grandmother's house because a baby was sleeping.

Several of the other children in the backyard with him reported that Pifer also pointed a gun at them and yelled "Fire in the hole!" as they ran away.

Deputies say Pifer's rifle wasn't loaded.

Pifer declined to comment. She faces possible child abuse and felony menacing charges.

Shameful behavior from a grown woman...


Have you ever been annoyed by someone practicing their instrument? Did you handle the situation like the woman above?

Yes! However, i did not act like this woman up here. If it's during the day time and before 10 p.m., they can practice their musical instruments to their hearts content. But the college kiddos across the street like to play horrible music and drum on their drum set sometimes. This hasn't happened for a long time, but they were going away at it around 1-2 a.m. on a day I had to be up at 8 to work, and the police were called to break up this party (drumming included).

This lady, though. She took it too far. xD And with an 11-year old!

This lady is a drunken idiot. She should pay for those kids potential therapy bills.

Agreed! As part of her punishment when the trial ends, she needs to do some kind of community service in the arts, and help this little boy. xD
