When she saw a drone hovering outside, she grabbed the family rifle and unloaded

Drones are quickly becoming more common as they become cheaper and easier to maneuver. Unfortunately, some people tend to use their drones to spy on others, and a few pranksters in Bellevue, Washington, decided to annoy their neighbor with their toy. In the video description, they said, “We were flying our drone around, noticed our neighbor out on the deck, and she started throwing things at the drone.”

When she realized that she couldn’t bring the machine down just by throwing things at it, she went back inside and returned with a shotgun, and that quickly scared the testy pilots away. However, it’s probably a good thing for her that she didn’t hit the drone as according to the Federal Aviation Administration, it’s a federal crime to shoot down a drone.
