A quiet retirement community in West Babylon, New York, was rocked by violence after 76-year-old Kathleen Schuman allegedly shot her neighbor, 67-year-old Richard Catrone, in the face with a flare gun during a heated argument. The altercation, reportedly sparked by a long-standing dispute over pets, turned dangerous when Schuman fired the incendiary device, striking Catrone in the cheek. Surveillance footage captured the shocking moment as Catrone, out walking his dog, was injured and later required stitches. Both parties were treated for non-life-threatening injuries. Schuman has been charged with second-degree assault and pleaded not guilty in court. The incident has left residents stunned, with many calling it a tragic escalation of an otherwise manageable neighborly dispute.
