Water wars

A 58-year-old Simcoe, Ontario, Canada, woman, Wendy Washik, was taken into custody on Sept. 1 and charged with assault with a weapon, the CBC reported. Washik, who was playing with a child, had accidentally shot a neighbor with a water gun while he mowed his lawn. Washik said she apologized repeatedly, but the neighbor “wouldn’t listen to me and ... was screaming at me.” She said police “didn’t ask me a single question. They didn’t ask to see the water gun.” Washik was due in court on Sept. 24.
