Mom pulls out gun during fight at Chuck E. Cheese

30-year-old Tawana Bourne, of Middletown, Connecticut, was at the Chuck E. Cheese in Newington with her son when she got into a fight with Shkurte Berisha, another mom at the restaurant.
During the fight Bourne allegedly pulled a .380 caliber semiautomatic handgun out of her pocket and chambered a round.
Berisha reported that the fight started when she told Bourne's five-year-old son to not push her two-year-old daughter. She said Bourne then told her to "watch your tone with my son," to which Berisha replied that Bourne should watch her child.
Bourne, who has a valid permit for the handgun, was arrested and charged with breach of peace, three counts of risk of injury to a minor, first-degree reckless endangerment and second-degree threatening. She was released on $50,000 bail.
Bourne is actively involved with There is Hope, a male mentoring program that targets at-risk youth engaging in risky behavior.

Man in jail for pointing loaded shotgun at wife's head

47-year-old Michael Leiner of East Hampton, Connecticut is in jail, held on $500,000 bond. Judge Morgan reminded Leiner that "the reason you're in the system right now is because you put a shotgun to your wife's head and threatened to shoot her."
Leiner is a law abiding citizen with no prior convictions. He became upset with his wife over a financial matter, went into his basement and got his shotgun. Leiner then allegedly cocked the shotgun and aimed it at his wife's head.
His wife was able to talk her way out of the home. When police arrived and searched the home they found the loaded shotgun with an active shell in the chamber.
