Helen Washington, 75, shot her grandson in the leg after he repeatedly ignored her request to move his tea cup from her furniture
A grandmother has been arrested for shooting her grandson in the leg over a cup of tea.
Helen Washington, 75, faces second-degree assault charges after she shot her grandson for ignoring her repeated demands to keep his tea cup off her furniture.
Police arrived to Washington's Brooklyn Center, Minnesota, home last Friday to find her unnamed grandson in the front yard with a gunshot wound to his thigh, claiming his grandmother was the culprit.
Officers found a .38 Special revolver with five rounds of ammunition, one of which had been fired, and Washington was arrested at the scene.
Officers spoke with a minor at the scene who said they saw Washington got upset when her grandson refused to keep his cup off the furniture.
The minor said she then poured the tea out and left the room to apparently fetch the gun.
When she returned, her grandson had poured a new cup of tea, placing in on the furniture once more.
That's when Washington pulled the gun out and shot her grandson in the leg, according to prosecutors.
While she was being arrested, the police complains says Washington told officers that she didn't think she should go to jail and asked officers where the bullet had hit her grandson.
A judge this week ordered Washington to be evaluated to see whether she is competent to stand trial.
She now faces felony charges of second-degree assault with a dangerous weapon.
Washington is next scheduled to appear in court on December 18.

as soon as I scrolled down and saw her face in that mugshot. I don't think he's gay; I think he's disrespectful as ____ an M'Dear wasn't having it anymore. We couldn't even step foot in the living room with the plastic on the furniture and he just keep testing her with his lil' tea cup. We can see she keeps her home well maintained on the outside and she didn't want him damaging nothing on the inside.
I hear ya, sis. (Based on the women in my family) I feel we get more ornery as we get older. I swear one of these days my granny will start throwing knives at people
