In the predawn darkness, Courtenay Savage stepped out of a rented sport utility vehicle and, like the police officer she once was, planted her feet and fired a .357 handgun at a house and a van, prosecutors say. She was wearing ear plugs, as if she were at the range. Four bullets went through the window of a bedroom, prosecutors say. One shattered a television. Another struck a mirror above a crib, causing broken glass to fall and cut an 11-month-old. That same bullet then pierced the wall of the next bedroom, whizzing over the head of a woman sleeping with her two granddaughters. Savage sped off and was arrested the next day, prosecutors say. By the time they finished tallying the number of people inside, Savage, 32, was facing eight counts of attempted second-degree murder, and bail exceeded $100,000.
