Imagine calling shooting someone in the face "aggravated assault". It's attempted murder.

[elmelmon]

She follows the victim around 15 miles, pulls out a gun and shoots the victim in the face! Aggravated assault? More like attempted murder!

How is shooting at someone not attempted murder

[jeanmariereed]

She should be charged with attempted murder. She is a danger to society and should never have a gun. For her to do this, she is completely an unfit mother. CPS should become involved immediately.

[mirrrstery]

If she does this while arguing with a stranger, imagine what she does to those kids behind closed doors. She’s unhinged

"Stalking the victim's car for 15 miles"

This was not road rage. This was a premeditative strike. She intended to kill whoever was in that car.

[Aziz.A]

The fact that SHE was charged with aggravated assault and not attempted murder is pathetic

[rosettawilliams]

Fine example of a mother she is. Hope young victim recovers from her senseless ordeal.

[bobalessi]

How does a person intentionally shoot someone in the face and not get charged with attempted murder?

[MerculiarchSyn]

“A Judge denied bond…”. Oh, a competent Judge. Breath of fresh air.

[timbuk]

That's attempted murder, not aggravated assault. 🤦

[casst]

needs 30yrs in jail, stalking and attempted murder.

[naewa]

It’s never that serious. The fact that she stalked them for 15 miles with her kids in the car is insane.

[earnellnewman]

Shooting someone in the face sounds like attempted murder not assault.

[thomasnorflem]

Update : She ended up getting 13 years.

[improvementchannel]

How is shooting someone not instant life in

[oloyedeoyebayo]

The fact that she is a mother and could shoot at another mother's daughter scares me. I thought road rages are spontaneous events. She actually tailed the young teen for 15 miles just to shoot her in the face. That is hatred, wickedness, and evil. I feel sorry for her kids and the father(s) of those children.

[nightmare]

This lady following a teenager for 15 miles then popping them in the face over being cut off or some minor traffic thing is terrifying, what the hell.

I went to school with her at Temple High School. She 110% had anger issues and I'm sure she had to take special classes where she couldn't be in a class full of kids. She carried herself like some she was some gangster even though she grew up in the backwoods.

[Humbirdhippo]

I’m so glad the shooting victim survived. Those poor children. What kind of mother? You never know the trauma that Children have to live through 😢
