A woman accused of firing warning shots at the person who killed her fiance and father of her two children appeared in court facing felony firearm charges.

Ashley Harrison, 26, of Aurora, was skittish and emotional as she stood before Cook County Judge Adam Donald Bourgeois Jr. She faces charges of reckless discharge of a firearm and aggravated unlawful use of a weapon.

Prosecutors say Harrison was driving in the 200 block of West Root Street with her fiance, Garvin Whitmore, 27, around 5:20 p.m. Saturday when an offender walked up to their vehicle and shot Whitmore in the head. Harrison brandished a silver .357 Magnum handgun from the car and fired several gunshots in the air, Assistant State’s Attorney Lesley Gool said.

Surveillance cameras from a nearby business caught Harrison on camera shooting the firearm into the air, Gool said.
