Amanda Del Paris
A Chattanooga woman has been charged with threatening two men with a gun and firing it into the ceiling of a residence.
Amanda Del Paris, 34, of 1206 Arlington Ave., is charged with reckless endangerment, aggravated domestic assault, being a felon in possession of a handgun and possessing a stolen weapon.
In the incident on Saturday, police were summoned to the Arlington Avenue address on a disorder with a weapon call.
Kelvin Holland and Michael Green said Ms. Paris threatened them with a gun if they did not leave. They said they immediately ran out of the house and called 911.
They said the gun was fired into the ceiling as they were exiting.
The pair said the boyfriend of Ms. Paris, Tracey Lamont, was still inside.
Police surrounded the house and called for Ms. Paris to come out. They said she did not do so at first.
Lamont did come outside and said Ms. Paris was inside with a loaded gun that she had fired into the ceiling.
After several attempts were made, Ms. Paris came out and was immediately taken into custody.
A search of the residence turned up a loaded gun with one spent shell casing in the chamber. There was damage to the ceiling.
