The incident occurred Friday, Sept. 14, at a senior living complex on the 31000 block of Castaic Road, sheriff’s officials said. [Image via LASD Special Enforcement Bureau Twitter]<\/figcaption><\/figure>CASTAIC – Prosecutors declined to file a case against a 60-year- old woman who holed up inside a senior living complex in Castaic last week after sheriff’s deputies were sent to check on her welfare.<\/p>\n

In a charge evaluation worksheet dated Monday and released Tuesday, Deputy District Attorney Garrett Dameron cited insufficient evidence against Linda Myers<\/strong>, who was arrested late last Friday by sheriff’s deputies.<\/p>\n

The prosecutor noted in the two-page document that uniformed deputies went to her door, asked her if she was O.K. and were yelled at to leave.<\/p>\n

Deputies believed that a gunshot was then fired, prompting a SWAT response and evacuation. But sheriff’s detectives were “not able to locate a firearm, a bullet strike mark, or a shell casing” after getting a search warrant for her apartment following her arrest, according to the document.<\/p>\n

“The audio\/video recording was reviewed and what sounds like a gunshot can be heard during the deputies’ attempts to check on the welfare of Ms. Myers. Without physical evidence, however, there is insufficient evidence to prove this case beyond a reasonable doubt,” the prosecutor wrote.<\/p>\n
