A family dispute in Fairfax on Monday evening allegedly included two women firing off guns, though apparently not at each other.

As the dispute continued, the woman said she ran out to the back yard and shot a bullet in the air to alert neighbors in hopes that someone would call police. At that point, she claimed to hear a shot from the front yard.

She believes the family member she was tussling with grabbed a gun from one of the vehicles out front. The suspect left the scene prior to officers arriving. The victim did not want to press charges.
