A hairdresser who swapped her scissors for a handgun and shot an unhappy customer could spend up to 20 years in prison.

Monique Reed turned the .38-calibre weapon on a client dissatisfied by the hair weave just received.

Reed, 40 and from Washington in the US, claimed she only fired two shots because 28-year-old Lauren Newton and her sister had threatened her.

Reed

also insisted she did not realise "a .38-calibre could be considered a deadly weapon" - and told a judge the gun "didn't even take her down".

The shooting came during a scuffle at Reed's salon in March 2008.

Ms Newton was hit in the lower back, though has since recovered.

Reed was sentenced to between 5 and 20 years in jail for aggravated assault and other charges.
