    Editor’s note: This story was updated April 14 to include court appearance details and the subject’s release from custody.

    A 45-year-old Eden Prairie woman is facing a felony charge after allegedly firing a gun into the air outside her home Thursday afternoon.

    Beulah Louise Underwood was charged Friday in Hennepin County District Court with one count of reckless discharge of a firearm within a municipality. The incident occurred near the 15,000 block of Trillium Circle, where police responded around 1 p.m. April 10 to a report of a shot fired.

    According to the criminal complaint, multiple witnesses told Eden Prairie officers that Underwood — identified as a family member — had fired a gun into the air while standing outside the front entrance of a residence. Witnesses also reported that she had been drinking throughout the day.

    Officers located a single spent shell casing near the front door of the home. Underwood was arrested at the scene and booked into the Hennepin County Jail.

    A police spokesperson said no one was injured.

    Underwood appeared in court Monday, April 14. Judge Lisa K. Janzen granted her conditional release and reduced her bail from $20,000 to $10,000. Conditions include remaining law-abiding, submitting to random testing, abstaining from alcohol and controlled substances, and avoiding firearms or ammunition.

    She was released from jail at about 6 p.m. Monday. An omnibus hearing is scheduled for June 4.
