Drone killer - Annie got her gun - Curt Lewis

Woman shoots drone: "It hovered for a second and I blasted it to smithereens."

Virginian used 20-gauge shotgun against offending aircraft thought to be paparazzi.

Jennifer Youngman (not pictured here), used a 20-gauge shotgun like this one to down the drone.

With a single shotgun blast, a 65-year-old woman in rural northern Virginia recently shot down a drone flying over her property.

The woman, Jennifer Youngman, has lived in The Plains, Virginia, since 1990. The Fauquier Times first reported the June 2016 incident late last week. It marks the third such shooting that Ars has reported on in the last 15 months-last year, similar drone shootings took place in Kentucky and California.

Youngman told Ars that she had just returned from church one Sunday morning and was cleaning her two shotguns-a .410 bore and a 20-gauge-on her porch. She had a clear view of the Blue Ridge Mountains and neighbor Robert Duvall's property (yes, the same Robert Duvall from The Godfather). Youngman had seen two men set up a card table on what she described as a "turnaround place" on a country road adjacent to her house.

"I go on minding my business, working on my .410 shotgun and the next thing I know I hear 'bzzzzz,'" she said. "This thing is going down through the field, and they're buzzing like you would scaring the cows."

Youngman explained that she grew up hunting and fishing in Virginia, and she was well-practiced at skeet and deer shooting.
