A judge sentenced an Ozark County woman Thursday for shooting two bystanders after an argument between her son and his girlfriend.

According to KYTV/KSPR, Rhonda Sprague plead guilty to two counts of second-degree assault and was ordered to serve five years on probation.

The shootings happened on May 6 in the Caney Mountain area. Investigators say the two victims were bystanders after an altercation between Sprague, her son, and his girlfriend. Deputies found both victims with gunshot wounds and emergency crews airlifted one of the victims to a hospital.

Witnesses say Sprague had been drinking and was mad about everything.
