Some people become irritable on beaches, but one woman took it to a whole new level.. with an air pistol.

Yes, evening strollers along Playa de Poniente on Friday were surprised when this bloody woman started firing the thing into the air – just isn’t cricket!

This Wild West spree took place, more or less, in front of Chiringuito Alonso. When the police arrived she had retired to a beach, sun bed with her panting weapon.

Well they arrested Motril’s answer to Annie Oakley but not before she had threatened strollers. She reportedly took a potshot at a lifeguard who was still on his elevated platform at that hour.

Nobody was hurt, either because she was a useless shot or the air pistol had the accuracy of a fairground airgun.

Why the blessed woman decided to do this is a mystery but we all go a little bit crazy in the summer’s heat – God knows, who hasn’t itched to go for his trusty air pistol whilst trying to find a parking spot.
