Irate after getting dumped, a Kalispell woman allegedly fired a handgun inside a Fifth Avenue East North home earlier this month.

Andrea Lynn Briggs, 36, faces a single count of felony assault with a weapon in Flathead County District Court following the alleged Jan. 21 shooting. Released from county jail on her own recognizance Jan. 22, Briggs is expected to appear before Judge Robert Allison on Feb. 8 for her arraignment. 

Kalispell Police officers began searching for Briggs after responding to a disturbance call about 9:32 p.m., according to court documents. Briggs’ ex-boyfriend told officers that she fired a handgun in the home when he tried to break up with her, court documents said.
