On April 8, a shocking incident unfolded on a Florida highway involving a 22-year-old woman from Georgia named Taylor Nichelle Celestine. She stands accused of going on a shooting spree that left two people injured, and her explanation for her actions is both bizarre and troubling.
Celestine allegedly informed hotel staff where she had checked out that she intended to carry out the shootings because she believed she had been directed by ‘God’ and was influenced by the solar eclipse.
She then proceeded to drive her purple Dodge Challenger with Georgia plates onto Interstate 10 in Florida’s panhandle, where she fired multiple shots from a rifle, hitting one driver with glass fragments and grazing another driver’s arm with a bullet.
Fortunately, the injured driver was able to steer his vehicle onto the shoulder of the road to safety. However, the second driver who was hit in the neck had to be taken to a nearby hospital for treatment.
Florida Highway Patrol troopers managed to stop Celestine’s vehicle and arrest her. Inside her car, they discovered both an AR-15 rifle and a 9mm handgun.
Currently, Celestine is being held at the Holmes County Jail, facing charges of attempted murder, aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, and improper discharge of a firearm.
