CRESTLINE – San Bernardino County Sheriff’s deputies arrested a husband and his wife, who fired gunshots into the air on Saturday in an effort to stop a fight.

When the fight into a physical altercation, Jennifer Magana went to their car, pulled out a gun and fired four shots into the air in what was described as an effort to stop the fight.
The Twin Peaks Sheriff’s Station reacted to several emergency calls when the shots had been fired. When deputies, along with officers from the California Highway Patrol and San Bernardino National Forest Service responded, the incident was determined to be an active shooter situation.
Law enforcement officials said that Anthony Magana was the “aggressor” in the fight. He was booked into jail on charges of battery with serious bodily injury, later released at 2:04 a.m. Sunday morning on $100,000 bail.

His wife was not taken into custody, though a report was filed with the San Bernardino County District Attorney. She was cited for discharging a firearm.
There were no other arrests made, though the incident is still under investigation, according to the sheriff’s department.
