FAUQUIER COUNTY, Va. -- A Virginia woman is serious about her privacy and she used her shotgun to take down a drone that was buzzing all over her property in Fauquier County.
Jennifer Youngman said the June incident happened when she spotted men, who looked like paparazzi, flying a drone over the farm of her famous neighbor, Robert Duvall.
She said she was cleaning her guns on the porch and watching the drone when a gust of wind pushed it over to her property.
“When it came I just reached my gun up like this, POW got it,” she said.
The shot from the 20 gauge shotgun shattered the drone into pieces in Youngman’s yard.

“The men started to come up here and I said, 'I’ve called the police. You’re trespassing.’” she said.
Youngman said she didn’t actually call police, but the men got the message loud and clear.
When asked why she decided to take a shot at the drone, Youngman said she takes privacy very seriously.
"You know it's just my belief to give people their privacy,” she replied.
A spokesman for the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office tell WUSA9 no police report was filed so they can’t determine if any laws were broken during the incident.
