She directed them to her backyard and they hid behind her shed as she called 911. The woman later told deputies she heard six to eight shots followed by four or five more. A few seconds later the men, who appeared to be in “great fear” started pounding on her door asking for help.

Detectives interviewed the men ages 20 and 25 who told them they were selling solar panels in the neighborhood. They knocked on one door and an older woman answered and “did not appear to be happy and told them to leave,” the affidavit said. The men walked away and were some 50 to 100 feet from the home when they heard around five or six shots, detectives wrote. They saw a man yelling and pointing a gun in their direction, per cops. No one was struck by the gunfire.
