Give granny a kiss -- or else!

Deputies in Marion County, Fla., say a 92-year-old woman opened fire on her neighbor's home on Monday after the 53-year-old resident refused to give her a kiss.

Investigators claim Helen B. Staudinger paid a visit to Dwight Bettner's Fort McCoy house -- then said she wouldn't leave unless Bettner kissed her, the Star-Banner reports.

Bettner declined, and authorities say the 5-foot, 100-pound nonagenarian returned to her house, retrieved a
semi-automatic handgun and fired four rounds into his residence.

Bettner -- who told officials he was hit with shards of glass during the shooting -- insists his relationship with Staudinger was neighborly but never romantic.

He admits he helped his elderly neighbor run an errand and once gave her a peck on the cheek "trying to be nice to her," but he said he has always rejected her advances.

Staudinger allegedly told authorities she visited Bettner's residence and refused to leave without a kiss, but she later told the paper she was angry at her neighbor because of his "lies" and because he had not been "paying his way" when they went out to eat.

"The more I thought about it, the madder I got," she reportedly said.

Staudinger has been charged with aggravated assault with a firearm and shooting into an occupied dwelling. A judge ordered her to keep her distance from Bettner.
