HAMDEN — A town woman faces various gun-related charges after she was accused of firing a bullet into the ground after an argument with her boyfriend, police said Thursday.

Shannon Mosca, 28, of Briarcliff Road, was charged with criminal possession of a firearm, unlawful discharge of a firearm, reckless endangerment, carrying a pistol without a permit and risk of injury to a minor.

Hamden police responded to a home on Briarcliff Road on Wednesday following a verbal dispute.

Police said Mosca and her boyfriend had gotten into an argument and Mosca fired a single round from a gun into the front lawn. Mosca’s 3-year-old daughter “watched the incident unfold from a nearby window,” police said.

Mosca wasn’t on scene when officers arrived; she was arrested soon after at her place of employment.

Mosca was held on a $5,000 bond. She was scheduled to appear in court Thursday, but there were no updated court records available for her Thursday evening.
