Shot Fired During Argument Between Family Members in Pasadena

Police arrested a woman after she allegedly pulled a gun during a dispute with her father in Pasadena, which went off as the two struggled over the weapon on Sunday night, officials said.

Officers first responded at about 8:30 p.m. to reports of a gunshot heard in the 300 block of Adena Street, between Los Robles and Garfield avenues, said Pasadena police Lt. Sean Dawkins.

They determined a woman had become involved in a dispute with her father which resulted in her brandishing a handgun, he said.

The gun went off as the father and daughter wrestled for control of it, but no one was struck, the lieutenant said.

Bail for Balderas was set at $70,000 pending her initial appearance in Los Angeles County Superior Court.
