PARIS, Maine — Police said a local woman broke into her son-in-law’s house in West Paris on Saturday and aimed a loaded semi-automatic handgun at him, but it failed to fire.

Mary Landers, 61, was arrested the following day at her home in Paris on charges of aggravated attempted murder and burglary, according to an affidavit by Deputy Zane Loper of the Oxford County Sheriff’s Office.

A corrections officer said Tuesday evening charges against Landers also include terrorizing and criminal threatening with a dangerous weapon. Landers posted bail of $30,000 worth of property and was released Monday, the deputy said.

Bail conditions include she not possess dangerous weapons or alcohol and have no contact with Matthew Lobb.
