Woman shoots drone: “It hovered for a second and I blasted it to smithereens.”

This is an automatic summary, original reduced by 80%.

With a single shotgun blast, a 65-year-old woman in rural northern Virginia recently shot down a drone flying over her property.

"This drone disappeared over the trees and I was cleaning away, there must have been a five- or six-minute lapse, and I heard the 'bzzzzz,'" she said, noting that she specifically used 7.5 birdshot.

Last year, a pilot in Stanislaus County, California, filed a small claims lawsuit against a neighbor who shot down his drone and won.

A case ensued in Kentucky after a man shot down a drone that he believed was flying above his property.

Earlier this year, the Kentucky drone's pilot, David Boggs, filed a lawsuit asking a federal court in Louisville to make a legal determination as to whether his drone's flight constituted trespassing.

Boggs asked the court to rule that there was no trespass and that he is therefore entitled to damages of $1,500 for his destroyed drone.
