A woman made a desperate call to authorities after her neighbor shot at her and her husband in a wild attack.
A woman frantically tried to call the police and begged for them to send officers to her home after she and her husband had been shot at by her neighbor.
The incident occurred at their New Jersey home earlier this week.
The woman and her husband had reportedly been feuding with the neighbor for years, however, it isn’t clear what happened, if anything, to turn the feud violent.

The woman who was shot in the attack said the shooter was her neighbor, who has been identified as John Adamo.
A 911 conversation revealed her panicked response after Adamo began shooting. She even believed her husband had been killed and was fearful for her own life.
Speaking to a 911 dispatcher, she said: “My husband, I think he's dead outside and my leg is killing me. I'm in the left leg — my husband I think — at least 3 rounds. Oh my God.
“There's blood everywhere. It looks like a f****** rifle. It looked like a rifle. Please hurry.
"Please get the cops here, I'm bleeding to death. I can't leave my kids," the wife said on the 911 call.
She continued: "If I do, please tell them that I love them."
Neither the husband or the wife were killed but their conditions were considered critical and they were both airlifted to the hospital. They are now both recovering, the current status is not clear.
After firing at the pair, Adamo then went back inside his house.
SWAT teams were called to the Jersey Shore town of Berkeley Township and surrounded the home before blasting the doors with explosives and breaching the property.
When they did, they discovered Adamo in an upstairs bedroom deceased with an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.
Police have confirmed that, over the past year, they have responded to the homes at least six times. However, they have not yet given a possible motive for the shooting.
A resident who lives up the street from the couple spoke to the local media about the incident.
Resident Nico Rispoli said that Adamo was known for being ‘very obnoxious’ and frequently sat in his garage blasting heavy metal at extremely high volumes.
He said: “There were definitely arguments that led up to this.”
