A Mandeville woman was arrested after she allegedly shot at a 1-year-old and several other people during a fight over a trucker's job and an 18-wheeler.
32-year-old Natalie Williams of Mandeville is facing an attempted murder charge in relation to the shooting.
Slidell police received several calls Friday afternoon about a woman who was shooting at people in the parking lot of the Travel Centers of America on the Northshore.
Officers arrived at the scene, to find three victims who told them that Williams had attacked them after her fiancé was fired from his job as a truck driver.
Police say one of the victims, the owner of a trucking company, confronted Williams and her fiancé near an 18-wheeler in the back parking lot
The owner had just fired Williams’ fiancé for poor job performance, according to police, and was evicting them both from their 18-wheeler. During the subsequent argument, Williams grabbed a gun and fired several shots towards the owner. She then shot the victim's truck several times, nearly striking the victim's fiancé and their 1-year-old son.
Nobody was injured.
Williams was found by police, hiding in a nearby patch of woods and arrested her without incident on suspicion of attempted first degree murder.
