An Aurora woman was arrested over the holiday weekend after shooting a handgun at her neighbor during a dispute in the parking lot of their apartment complex. Lagwanda Hudson, 44, of the 2700 block of Village Green Dr, was arrested Saturday morning after firing a handgun at her neighbor during a fist fight in the parking lot of their apartment complex. At 9:40 AM, April 20, Aurora Police Department was dispatched to a call of shots fired at the Village Green Apartment Complex on the City’s Far East Side. The investigation revealed that Hudson and another resident, a 30-year-old Aurora woman had been involved in an ongoing neighbor dispute for the past few weeks. Police learned that this morning the two women became involved in a fist fight in the parking lot outside the apartment complex after one reportedly saw the other giving "dirty looks." During the altercation, Hudson reportedly retrieved a Glock pistol from her purse and fired once at the victim, narrowly missing the left side of her head. The pistol was recovered from Hudson's vehicle, and she was taken into custody without further incident. The victim was treated and released from a local hospital for minor scratches and pain in her left ear, presumably from the firearm discharge. The DuPage County State’s Attorney’s Office authorized one (1) count of Aggravated Discharge of a Firearm, a Class 1 Felony. Hudson was transported to the DuPage County Jail to be arraigned on bond. Charges are not proof of guilt. The defendant listed herein is presumed innocent and is entitled to fair trials at which it is the burden of the State to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
