A woman who claimed to be on a shooting spree directed by God during the solar eclipse was arrested for shooting at cars on Interstate 10 in the Panhandle, authorities said.
The bullets struck two people, grazing one person and striking another person in the neck.
Police said Taylon Nichelle Celestine, 22, of Georgia, was arrested and booked on charges of attempted murder, aggravated battery with a deadly weapon and improper discharge of a weapon, according to a press release from the Florida Highway Patrol.
The shootings occurred in Holmes County as Celestine drove a purple Dodge Challenger with Georgia plates onto I-10 heading west, authorities said.
“Within 5 miles of entering the interstate, the suspect fired multiple shots into another vehicle traveling along the interstate, striking the passing car multiple times. The driver was struck by glass fragments from the window and grazed on the arm by a bullet; however, he was able to steer his vehicle onto the shoulder of the road, away from the suspect,” the press release said.
“Continuing westbound on I-10, the suspect shot at another vehicle near the 107- mile marker, hitting the driver in the neck. The victim was taken to a nearby hospital and is currently receiving treatment.”
Police did not provide details on the victim’s status in the press release.
Florida State Troopers found Celestine near the 96-mile marker and conducted a felony traffic stop. After the suspect was taken into custody, troopers found an AR-15 and a 9mm handgun in the purple Challenger, the press release said.
Celestine had checked out of a hotel and told staff God had directed her to go on a shooting spree “in relation to the solar eclipse,” according to authorities.
On Monday, people across the country, including Florida, took a break from work or traveled to solar eclipse viewing parties to see the events unfold in the sky.

Good evening America,
None of the major Leftist News Outlets are covering the Girl Shooting Folks on The Interstate Story
Do You Know What That Means?
“NO SAGE EARL WHAT DOES IT MEAN”?
“Thank you for asking”, said Earl.
“IT MEANS SHE IS A DOOK 4 BRAINS LEFTY AND LIKELY HAD HER HAIR DYED BLUE, PURPLE, or GREEN” said Earl.
Thank you America,

Good evening Sage Patriots,
Of course we would be remiss in accusing this misguided human of being a “Dook 4 Brains Leftist.
It would hurt the tender “Feelings” of all Earl’s Besty Leftys to do so. And Earl is “Courting” all his Besty Leftys into casting their POTUS vote for the Trump/DeSantis Tickit.
WHAT WE DO KNOW:
There are “Less Than Zero Odds in Vegas” that this misguided human “Was/Is” a “Sage Patriot”.
If we get any more data on this at “The Earl Pitts American Political Science Administration” I, Earl Pitts American, will break-in for an “Earl Side Chat” to keep all my fans up to speed.
Thank you Sage Patriots,
Earl Pitts American

We should probably keep guns away from religious people.
It is a form of severe mental illness after all.

Good Morn ‘Ting America,
We’ve got a few “Dook 4 Brains” leftist syncophant “Mindless BOT” commenters trying their best to slant the shooting to trash Sage Patriots.
Pay no attention to these Dook BOTS and put your full faith and confidence in the Sage Words and Interpertations of Earl Pitts American.

At the time of her arrest was she wearing a red ball cap and golden sneakers?

Me too LOL. She probably only had the red versions. of the sneakers but then spray painted them gold herself, leading to the frustration that conveyed “it’s time to start shooting.”

God should have told her to remain stationary herself while shooting at moving cars. Better yet, shoot from a stationary position at stationary cars backed up a busy stoplight with a median wall preventing exiting via U-turn. Take out the pole position drivers first. Take out the rear drivers next. Everybody else is stuck, and probably also has no clue what’s happening unless you’re walking up to end window pretending to be a pandhandler and they see you shooting into the row of cars immediately ahead of them thank to that row having neither a SUV and/or blackout windows that prevent line of sight thru the car.
