A crazed Staten Island woman, enraged that an 11-year-old girl threw a piece of chalk too close to her chicken coop, opened fire on the child and her mom, the alleged victims and law-enforcement sources told The Post yesterday.
Elizabeth Gelman, 49, allegedly fired at Alexis Ranieri, and her mother, Sharon, who were on their back deck Monday night.
“I felt something go right by my head, something hit my forearm,” said the girl, who was struck by wood or siding that came loose from the bullets. “She shot at me, but she just had bad aim.”
The drama began Sunday when Alexis was playing with a pal near Gelman’s home.
