REDWOOD CITY — A San Bruno man faces felony weapons charges after opening fire with an assault rifle on his neighbor’s car while shouting that someone hurt his wife and daughter, a prosecutor said Thursday.

George Azich, 61, allegedly fired three shots from an SKS rifle Tuesday into the empty, parked car in front of the neighbor’s home on Mastick Avenue and then gave up to police.

Though Azich was heard yelling about someone hurting his family members, it wasn’t clear what prompted the shooting, District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe said. The neighbor whose car was shot was out of town during the shooting, he added.

When officers searched Azich’s home they found black powder pistols, another assault rifle and a National Rifle Association membership card, Wagstaffe said. Because Azich has a 1999 felony conviction for domestic violence, he’s not allowed to have guns.

Prosecutors charged him with two counts of illegal possession of an assault rifle and four counts of being a felon in possession of a firearm. They also accused him of reckless endangerment and being a felon in possession of ammunition.

Azich was being held at the San Mateo County jail in lieu of $20,000 bail, Wagstaffe said.
