PIKE COUNTY, Ky. (WSAZ) -- A woman from Pike County, Kentucky was arrested after stealing pills and a gun from her parents. She later fired the gun at her father.

Melissa Damron, 40, allegedly broke into her parents' home, stole prescription pills and a gun. Kentucky State Troopers say Damron then told her parents she was going to cut the phone line so they couldn't call 911.

When her mother ran to a neighbor's home for help, Damron fired the gun several times inside the home, narrowly missing her father.

One of the bullets grazed her father's forehead.

Damron now faces charges of wanton endangerment, burglary and assault and is being kept in the Pike County Detention Center.
