A Georgia woman convinced she received a message from God asking her to go on a killing spree to celebrate the solar eclipse shot and injured two motorists Monday in Florida.
According to what the Florida Highway Patrol explained to local media, the suspect, Taylon Nichelle Celestine, 22, first went to a motel in Holmes County. There, she told employees that she intended to commit a killing.
To fulfill the mandate given to her by the Almighty, the woman – in possession of an AR-15 rifle and a 9mm pistol – targeted motorists traveling on Interstate 10.
In particular, a driver suffered a barrage of bullets, but still managed to avoid causing an accident. She was injured by shards of glass and grazed on the arm by a bullet.
Another motorist, for his part, was hit in the neck by a bullet, an injury which required his hospitalization.
The devout believer was arrested shortly after and now faces charges including attempted murder and negligent use of a firearm.
