Redwood City police braced themselves this week when an 84-year old woman dropped into City Hall to pay a fine for illegally feeding birds after she threatened to shoot a code enforcement officer.

As it turned out, the woman paid her fine Thursday without incident, Redwood City police Sgt. Jim Stoney said. He declined to identify her because despite making threats against a city worker, she was not charged or arrested.

"This 84-year-old lady said she'd shoot the code officer," Stoney said. "And she does have a gun registered in her name."

Stoney said he didn't know what kind of gun.
