A woman shot out the windows of her home to make coffee after being locked out of her garage

A woman told police she shot through the windows of her North Codorus Township home after a man locked her out of the garage where she was going to make her morning coffee, according to court documents.

Lisa Wilson, 58, of North Codorus Township, was charged with felony possession of a firearm in an occupied building, disorderly conduct and recklessly endangering another person, according to documents filed by Northern York County Regional Police.

Wilson, who failed to post $50,000 bail, was arrested and booked into the York County Jail, where she remains, according to court records.

According to the probable cause affidavit, Wilson called 911 around 7:10 a.m. on Saturday, Nov. 2, 2024, to report that her husband had locked her out of the house and that she had shot out the windows.

The affidavit states that the officers were familiar with Wilson and her husband because they had responded to the home three times in the 24 hours prior to the call for verbal disputes.

Arriving officers found broken glass from the glass door leading to the home’s garage, as well as the door to a second garage, affidavits said.

When officers contacted Wilson, she told officers that she needed to go into the garage of the home to make coffee that morning and that her husband had put 2x4s on the garage door and changed the locks to prevent her from entering the garage, according to statement under oath.

Wilson told police she was shooting at the windows with a .22 and that she thought she fired three shots, but that she “doesn’t really understand how firearms work,” according to the affidavit. She also told officers she was uncomfortable handling or using firearms, the documents said.

Officers searched Wilson at the scene for gunshot residue, the affidavit said.

According to the affidavit, police found that every other door inside the house was accessible and that “although Lisa could not gain access to the garage, she still had access to the entire house, no other part of the house was locked.”

Officers entered the front door of the garage, which had been shot, and found two firearms on a sunroom in the garage, affidavits said.

One firearm was a SCCY CPX-1 9mm that had one round in the chamber and 11 in the magazine, and the other firearm was a North American .22 caliber mini revolver with four spent casings in the barrel, according to the affidavit.

During the investigation, officers were unable to determine where the projectiles landed after they entered the garage, but noted that it was “obvious” that windows were broken in both garage doors, the affidavit said. Officers did find the 2x4s through the garage access door from the home’s basement, the affidavit said.

Officers said the home was just 50 yards from the York County Rail Trail, which they describe as heavily populated by pedestrians and bicyclists, and there were other homes nearby, according to the affidavit.

After an investigation, Wilson was arrested by police and taken into custody, the affidavit said.

Officers contacted Wilson’s husband, who was no longer at the scene, and advised him how to obtain a protection-from-violence order, according to the affidavit.

A preliminary hearing in Wilson’s case is scheduled for Dec. 13, 2024, according to records.
