Tawana Bourne, Connecticut Woman, Allegedly Pulled Loaded Gun At Chuck E. Cheese
Newington, Conn., police arrested a woman at a Chuck E. Cheese on Monday evening after she allegedly pulled a loaded gun during an argument with another parent.
According to police, Tawana Bourne, 30, of Middleton, Conn., "brandished a .380 semiautomatic handgun and chambered a round" during a verbal altercation at the restaurant, which is geared toward children. No one was hurt in the incident.
"That's a step up from just having a handgun in your possession," Newington Police Sgt. Chris Perry told ABC local affiliate WFSB. "There's non-verbal intent there. So, that's how I'm assuming the victim took it and that's how we took it."
A witness claiming to have been the woman on the other end of that gun told the Hartford Courant that the argument began after Bourne's son pushed her 2-year-old daughter off of a ride.

What's the problem here?
