Charges of possessing a firearm while her firearm owner id card was revoked may be the least of a Quincy woman's troubles. 

Linda K. O'Leary, 54, also faces charges of reckless discharge of a firearm, aggravated assault, and disorderly conduct. 

O'Leary engaged Adams County law enforcement officers in a stand-off at a home near Quincy Regional Airport Wednesday afternoon. Deputies were called to investigate shots fired at 4:45 p.m. 

O'Leary had left the area but returned to the home where she reportedly made the threats a short time later. 

Deputies took her into custody and seized a pistol.

O’Leary is in the Adams County Jail.
