She felt a blast of wind and then saw sparks fly from the mobile home next door, according to reports. Cardena told deputies that boys in the neighborhood had been shooting BB guns recently and she was afraid they had acquired a real gun.

She gave them permission to search for guns. Deputies found at 20-gauge shotgun, a 22-caliber rifle and several pistol BB guns in the house.
