Lincoln police on Wednesday arrested a 22-year-old woman they say shot at her friend's husband with an AK-47 rifle last week.
Witnesses identified Elyssia R. Ochoa of Lincoln as the woman who fired a single shot July 10 at a 22-year-old man outside 1313 F St., Officer Katie Flood said.
Ochoa drove to the apartment building about 1 a.m. after her friend said she and her husband had been arguing.
The man was outside smoking when Ochoa arrived, and she confronted him with the rifle in hand, Flood said.
As the two argued, a neighbor who knows the man went outside and tried to calm Ochoa.
"You're going to die tonight," Ochoa told the man before firing the rifle.
Ochoa's shot missed the man and the neighbor, who was close by, Flood said.

The bullet's impact blew a "large chunk of cement" out of the sidewalk, Flood said. Ochoa then drove away.
Investigators identified her as the suspect and arrested her Wednesday afternoon. But they didn't recover the gun, Flood said.
She was taken to jail on suspicion of attempted first-degree assault and use of a firearm to commit a felony.
Prosecutors on Thursday charged Ochoa with two counts of terroristic threats and two counts of using a firearm to commit a felony.
Lancaster County Judge James Foster ordered her not to have any contact with the man or his neighbor. Foster set her bond at $150,000.
If convicted, Ochoa would face up to 110 years in prison.
