(Karen Madden, Wausau Daily Herald) An Abbotsford woman charged with attempted homicide after firing a weapon at another woman entered a plea in Marathon County Court on Tuesday.

According to Karen Madden with the Wausau Daily Herald, a criminal complaint states that at 2:35pm, on July 5th, a caller reported someone shot at one of his relatives at about 3 a.m. that morning.

He handed the phone to the victim, who told an officer with the Colby-Abbotsford Police Department that Wanda Rosa Collazo, formerly of Athens, had shot at her and her friends as they drove away from a home in Abbotsford.

The woman said she and some friends had been at a bar in Colby where Rosa Collazo also had been, and then they drove to a home in Abbotsford. The woman said she got out of the car with a few of the people and began walking up the driveway.

She said someone yelled for her to get out of there because Rosa Collazo was there and had a gun. The woman ran back to the vehicle with her friends and said she heard two shots as they drove away, according to the complaint.

Deputies looked at video from a nearby company with surveillance. They saw the victim come to the house with friends, then leave quickly. They also saw Rosa Collazo exit the home, walk down the driveway with a gun, raise her arm and fire it toward the vehicle, according to the complaint.

The woman said she wasn't hurt during the incident and police did not find any bullet holes in her car, according to the complaint. The woman said she had dated Rosa Collazo's former boyfriend, but she had since ended the relationship, according to the complaint.

On July 6, an officer saw Rosa Collazo's pickup in Abbotsford and tried to pull it over. She didn't stop for the officer's lights or siren and went through stop signs without stopping before parking her car in a parking lot, according to the complaint.

Officers arrested Rosa Collazo and found a pistol, ammunition, an electric weapon, marijuana and tools possibly related to another case in the truck, according to the complaint.

During her court appearance on Tuesday, a plea agreement was reached and she was found guilty of 1st degree recklessly endangering safety, possession of an electric weapon, and endangering safety-reckless use of a firearm.

A scheduling conference has been set for April 30th.
