En kvinna i Indiana står inför flera åtalspunkter efter att hon påstås ha dragit ett skjutvapen mot barn i en park i Lafayette och hotat att skjuta dem. Den 31-åriga Ashley Nicole Maxwell greps kort efter händelsen i Columbian Park på söndagskvällen. Polisen hittade ett handeldvapen kopplat till henne efter en husrannsakan i hennes bostad.

Polisen i Lafayette ryckte ut till Columbian Park vid 17:55-tiden på söndagen efter rapporter om en beväpnad person. Barn i åldrarna 7 till 14 berättade för polisen att en kvinna i en rosa hätta och blå tröja tagit fram ett vapen ur sin midjeväska och riktat det mot dem. Hon hotade att skjuta ett av barnen och att spränga parken i luften, enligt den förundersökningsprotokoll som WXIN tagit del av.
