Va. mom charged after firing gun into air to scare off daughter’s attackers
Meredith Somers washingtontimes.com A Woodbridge woman was arrested after she shot a handgun into the air to scare off a group of boys who were attacking her daughter. Lakisha Gaither, 35, said she fired a single round into the sky from her legally owned gun Saturday night after a boy punched her daughter in the face during a dispute near their home. “I just wanted this group of guys to disperse,” Ms. Gaither said. “I didn’t know what they were going to do. I wanted him to stop hitting my child.” The shooting occurred at 9:20 p.m. in the 13600 block of Cridercrest Place. After confronting a teenage girl and her mother in the neighborhood over a prior disagreement, Ms. Gaither and her 15-year-old daughter, Brianna Stewart, began walking home. A group of about 10 boys approached them in the parking lot of their apartment complex. One boy began to swear and insult Ms. Gaither and her daughter, who stood up to the boy. “The two were face to face,” Ms. Gaither said. “He grabs her shirt, she goes to push him off her.” Ms. Gaither said she realized she’d be putting the both of them at risk if she jumped into the fray. “I stopped and turned to walk to the middle of the parking lot. I made sure no one was around me,” she said. “I unholstered my gun, pointed it straight in the air and fired just one shot to get him off my child.” Ms. Gaither said she didn’t try to get away, and police eventually arrived. “I didn’t feel like I was wrong,” she said. “I wanted to protect my child.” But officers arrested her and charged her with reckless use of a weapon. to read more click here: washingtontimes.com
