Officers did not find her.<\/p>\n<p>About an hour later, officers were called to Briarcliff Road East near Dunn Avenue after receiving a report that a woman matching the description pointed a gun at a person and their dog. JSO said officers were again unable to locate her.<\/p>\n<p>Shortly after 10 a.m. Sunday, officers responded to Mar Vic Lane and Dunn Avenue after a caller reported a woman had pointed a gun at a man. Officers found a woman who they believed matched the description from Saturday\u2019s calls, authorities said.<\/p>\n<p>Police said the woman yelled at officers and repeatedly reached into bags she was carrying while ignoring commands to show her hands.
