A Florida woman was accused of driving her pickup truck toward a group of children who were playing outside an apartment complex.
Witnesses reportedly told investigators that several children were outside near the complex on June 7 when a pickup truck allegedly swerved in their direction. According to a witness, the children quickly ran toward a nearby residence after the vehicle approached them.
The children’s mother later confronted the driver about the incident. According to an affidavit, the woman allegedly admitted that she had tried to run over the children. Another witness reportedly told investigators that the driver made a comment referring to the incident as “target practice.” The same witness also alleged that the woman used a racial slur during the confrontation.
