[May 27, 2009]  BANGOR, Pa. (AP) -- A Pennsylvania woman was accused of firing a shot into the ground near her teenage son's feet because he wouldn't listen to her.

Police say 35-year-old Dawn Lynn Hogan was arguing with her son in front of her home on Monday and eventually went into the house to get her 9 mm handgun. Police said when she went outside, her son continued to argue and she fired a shot, but didn't injure him.

Hogan was charged with endangering the welfare of children, possession of instruments of crime and recklessly endangering another person. She was in the Northampton County Prison in lieu of $15,000 bail. It wasn't immediately clear Tuesday if she had a lawyer.
