Woman claims God told her to open fire on a Florida interstate due to the solar eclipse
A Georgia woman claims God told her to open fire on a Florida interstate due to the solar eclipse, according to a report.
Taylon Nichelle Celestine allegedly drove onto westbound Interstate 10 in Holmes County after checking out of a local hotel and telling staffers that she intended to go on a shooting spree on divine orders. Highway Patrol troopers said she fired multiple shots into another vehicle, reported WTVY-TV.
The other driver was struck by glass fragments and grazed on the arm by a bullet, but troopers said he managed to steer his vehicle onto the shoulder.
The 22-year-old Celestine continued driving westbound and then allegedly shot at another vehicle, striking the driver in the neck, and that victim was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment.

Celestine was taken into custody and charged with attempted murder, aggravated battery with a deadly weapon and improper discharge of a firearm.
