A US woman checked out of a Florida hotel and told staff that she was going on a God-directed shooting spree because of the solar eclipse, then allegedly shot two drivers on Interstate 10.
She was arrested and charged with attempted murder today, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
Taylon Nichelle Celestine, 22, of Georgia, entered the highway 180km from the Alabama border in the Florida Panhandle and headed west.
Within 8km, she fired into a passing car several times, spraying auto glass and grazing the driver in the arm, the department said in a statement. She then fired at a second vehicle, hitting the driver in the neck. The driver was injured and treated at a hospital.
