In Broward County Florida, Cheryl Hepner, 66 alledgedly shot her son-in-law, Salvatore Miglino when he came to her home Wednesday to pick up his three year old son for a court ordered visitation.

Miglino anticipated a verbal confrontation so he turned on his iPhone.

What happens next is shocking. Miglino was hit twice. He was shot once in the rib cage and once in the shoulder.

Hepner told investigators that the incident began when Miglino tried to shoot her, but she knocked the gun from his hand and shot him in self-defense. On the following day Hepner was charged with attempted murder.

According to the Orlando Sentinel, "Miglino married Hepner's daughter, Vicki Miglino, 37, five years ago in Broward County. But after the relationship soured two years ago, his wife moved with their son to her parents' home in the 8600 block of Northwest 57th Court, court records show."
