VANCOUVER, Wash. -- Neighbors in a Southwest Washington neighborhood called police Sunday morning after hearing gunfire around the home of former pro ice skater Tonya Harding.

Clark County deputy Tim Bieber told The Columbian that some neighbors complained about the sound of shots in the area near Harding's home around 10 a.m. But officers said the area is a popular place for target practice and no police report was filed.

Tenants nearby have called police to complain in the past, according to deputies. Bieber said Harding had the right to shoot on the property and that all was well.

In 1994, the Portland-born skater Harding was competing for a spot on the U.S. Olympic figure skating team when a club-wielding assailant hit competitor Nancy Kerrigan in the knee, forcing her out of the competition. Video showed Kerrigan grabbing her knee and wailing "Why me, why me?"

Harding's ex-husband, Jeff Gillooly, was accused of hatching the original plan. The investigation also eventually netted convictions of Shane Stant, the actual attacker, and Stant's uncle, Derrick Smith, who drove the getaway car.

Yay, I'm so glad Tonya doesn't live in Portland anymore! Vancouver can have her!

I remember back in 1994 when the whole clubbing thing happened it was so exciting because my friend lived down the street from Tonya's apartment complex!

Holy shit, is THAT her???? She's really let herself go!

omg she is the epitome of WT; so yeah, this is just the beginnning of a long and painful albeit hilarious downward spiral for her!

She does look terrible, but I bet she can still skate. Can you imagine seeing her that size on the rink doing the things she could still probably do? Obviously not the really hard stuff and not as graceful, but better than a lot of people, that's for sure.

^^She was a decent skater,but she fucked all that away trying to cheat her way to a gold medal.

Truthfully, Tonya was a great technical skater - I'll give her that. She was a real talent, and one of the very, very, very few women to ever land a triple axel in competition.

She pissed all that talent away with her overwhelming trashiness, though. Even before her ban from figure skating, her trash factor was hurting her presentation scores because it came screaming through.

I've seen her on tv in the last year or two, and yes, she can still skate, but I think she's doing some women's boxing thing now.

The woman's got serious self esteem issues. I'm sorry to see that she's apparently still not gotten herself together.

So true...she had zero finesse but that could have been refined with some good coaching. It's really too bad she took the white trash route because I think she could have beat Nancy Kerrigan fair and square with a little more effort.
