Weeki Wachee (WTFF) – A Florida woman was arrested after reportedly pointing a shotgun at a group of kids playing in the canal behind her home.
61-year-old Melinda French believed the kids were “making too much noise,” Fox 13 reports.
The children were with their families who were having a cookout nearby that Sunday.
Eight children were swimming in the canal behind French’s home when she exited her home holding a shotgun.
She pointed the shotgun towards them while yelling at them to “shut up.”
French may have been intoxicated, officials say.
Nobody died. Nobody got shot.
She’s now facing eight charges of Aggravated Assault with Weapon Without Intent to Kill.
Her bond remains at $8,000.
Sickening that a white woman can POINT A GUN AT CHILDREN and for one, live through the arrest and two, be in the free world right now. But an UNARMED BLACK MAN is murdered by police over something so trivial. Truly disgusting. JUSTICE FOR GEORGE! LOCK THIS WOMAN UP!
I know this woman, I can guarantee the kids were not white and Ms French had a nice portion of Vodka
Wtf are kids doing swimming in a canal anyways? Have you any idea how dangerous that is? Gators? Snakes? Waterborne illness?
I have a good idea what color the kids were…….
I’m a born Floridian.I can handle Florida.But some folks can’t.The heat and humididty is too much for them and their brains boil in their heads.They go crazy,start waving shotguns if some kids make noise.Better you go live in Alaska Ms.French,things are quiet there I hear.
