A woman was shot in the arm with a BB gun while she was standing in the front yard of a Red Wing house.

Jane Markwed, 47, Lake City, was pushing a 16-month-old baby on a swing at 843 Elm St., when the BB hit the back of her arm.

Police later located a 12-year-old male who said he had shot the BB gun at a sign and that the BB must have ricocheted off, hitting the woman. Police Chief Tim Sletten said the woman was not treated for injuries.

The case has been sent to the county attorney’s office for review of charges.
