SANFORD, Fla. -- A man is charged with attempted murder after his mother told police that her son used pepper spray on her and shot at the door of a room she had locked herself in.
Sanford police said Gayle Fahr called 911 Saturday night to report that her "son had turned on her."
When officers arrived at the home, Fahr's son, Gene Fahr, 51, answered the door and directed officers to the room where his mother was located, police said.
Officers were initially unable to open the door due to bullet holes near the handle, and opened the door with force, police said.
Police said Gayle Fahr, who was wearing an oxygen mask, was visibly shaken.
Gayle Fahr told officers that her son had been drinking and blamed her for his recent break-up with his girlfriend, police said. She said her son sprayed pepper spray into a fan in her room, took her phone, disabled her computer and told her she would not be contacting anyone, police said.
After grabbing a phone from another room, Gayle Fahr told police she locked herself in her room, but Gene Fahr tried to force entry by shooting at the door knob several times, which made him unable to open the door.
Officers said Gayle Fahr suffers from Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease.
Gene Fahr was arrested and charged with attempted murder, aggravated battery on a person age 65 or older, two weapons offenses and obstruction of justice.
