According to a probable cause affidavit, officers were called to Fuji Drive around 9:15 p.m. after Shannon and another woman attacked a man.

Shannon pulled Christmas lights from the man’s house, and the man followed Shannon’s car as he drove off and confronted him, according to the affidavit. Shannon pulled a gun and threatened the man before driving back to the man’s home and destroying more Christmas decorations, police said.

The man “in fear for his family in the home” used his truck to ram into Shannon’s car, the affidavit said.

A woman, identified as Kaylee Storm, got out of Shannon’s car with a knife and charged at the man, cutting his left hand, police said. Shannon began yelling, “I’ll kill you,” while shooting from the car toward the man and hit the man’s truck five times.

Shannon then got out of the car and pointed the gun at the man’s head, shooting and missing, the affidavit shows.

Shannon got back into his car and drove off, leaving behind the grill of the car and the woman’s purse with both Shannon’s license and her license.

Police located the two at the Storm’s residence, and both were arrested.

The charges Storm is facing was not specified in the affidavit.

Shannon faces several charges, including attempted murder, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and criminal mischief.
