Lake County State’s Attorney’s Office officials have filed a motion to detain a woman until trial after she tried to shoot her brother in the foot but missed during a domestic incident in Grayslake Saturday, officials said.
Grayslake Police officers responded to the 300 block of Quist Court for a report of a single gunshot at approximately 2:39 p.m. on Saturday, police officials said.
Upon arrival, police determined that a domestic dispute had occurred involving several subjects, police said.
During the dispute, Tanea Landrum, 34, pulled out a .22 caliber pistol and fired one shot in the direction of a victim, police said.
No injuries were reported because of this incident.
Landrum left the scene as a passenger in a vehicle, but that vehicle was quickly located in Mundelein, police said.
She was taken into custody without incident.
Following the arrest and subsequent investigation, the Lake County State’s Attorney’s Office charged Landrum with Aggravated Discharge of a Firearm, Aggravated Assault from a Motor Vehicle, Aggravated Unlawful Use of a Weapon, and Unlawful Possession of a Firearm without an Illinois Concealed Carry License, authorities said.
Assistant Lake County State’s Attorney Nicholas Shepherd said in court that the state filed a petition to detain Landrum due to the shooting.
Shepherd said in court that the incident took place at the brother’s apartment, adding that the victim had instigated the argument and continued it by following Landrum out to the car and pounding on her windows.
However, Landrum pulled out a pink Ruger and attempted to shoot the brother in the foot, but missed, Shepherd said.
Shepherd said Landrum admitted to the incident.
Lake County Associate Judge Gabriel Conroe ordered Landrum held in Lake County Jail pending a Detention hearing Tuesday afternoon.
