SALINE COUNTY —Law enforcement authorities are investigating a woman on weapons and other charges after a shooting at a Salina nursing home.

Just after 6:3 p.m. Monday, police were sent to Pinnacle Park Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, 2936 Georgia Avenue in Salina, for the report of a disturbance, according to Salina Police Captain Paul Forrester.

Officers made contact with Danielle Robinson, 31, of Salina, who reported she was with a subject in Solomon and the subject pushed her out of a moving vehicle.

 The woman told police that she got back into the vehicle and the subject drove her to Salina. She then got out of the vehicle and was chased to Pinnacle Park Nursing home.

According to Forrester, Robinson requested paramedics but then refused to go with them, and left the area running westbound.

At 8:02 p.m., officers were sent back to the nursing home for the report of gunfire.  Witnesses reported hearing a loud noise, then Robinson made entry into the property holding a firearm and said she had been shot. Police could find no evidence that she had been shot, according to Forrester. 

Robinson then began waving the gun around and pointed it at several individuals. Robinson then put the gun down and one of the other people there kicked it away from her.

Officers collected a Ruger LCP and found the west entry glass door to the home had been shot. Officers also collected a shell casing in the foyer, according to Forrester.

Police arrested Robinson on requested charges that include Aggravated assault, Aggravated burglary, Criminal use of a weapon and Interference with a law enforcement officer.
