CYPRESS — The wife of a San Diego County police chief has been charged with shooting at police officers trying to coax her out of her house.

The San Diego Union-Tribune reports Thursday that 47-year-old Brinda McCoy, wife of Oceanside police Chief Frank McCoy, was released from jail Wednesday on $250,000 bail.

The charges stem from a Dec. 16 incident at the couple’s Orange County home, when Brinda McCoy called 911. She then refused to exit her house, allegedly pointing a gun at her head and the ceiling before firing twice at officers taking cover behind parked cars.

SWAT officers arrested her hours later after striking her with a shot from a bean-bag gun.

She is charged with shooting at a peace officer and discharging a firearm with gross negligence.
