Raquel Medina Hall pulled a handgun from her waistband, pointed it at the couple and told them she was law enforcement, officials said.
Hall called over the couple, pulled a handgun from her waistband and pointed it at them, according to the City Attorney's Office, which said she had told the couple she was law enforcement. During her trial in San Diego Superior Court, she testified that she works in private security, a City Attorney's spokeswoman said.
Police later responded to Hall's home after the victims called 911 and she relinquished her gun to officers. Though she had a permit to carry a firearm, she was not allowed to carry it concealed. "Threatening others with a firearm is irresponsible and dangerous. This situation could have had a tragic ending," San Diego City Attorney Mara W. Elliott said in a statement."Altercations like this should be handled by law enforcement, and not armed vigilantes."
