Woman accused of shooting drivers on Florida interstate says she was directed by God

A Georgia woman accused of wounding two drivers on a Florida interstate Monday told people God directed her to carry out the shootings “in relation to” the solar eclipse, authorities said.

Taylon Nichelle Celestine, 22, was stopped on Interstate 10 near mile marker 96 on a felony traffic stop after she was suspected of wounding two drivers a short time earlier, the Florida Highway Patrol said in a statement.

Before the shooting began, the highway patrol said, Celestine “had recently checked out of a local hotel and told the staff she was going on a shooting spree, directed by ‘God’ in relation to the solar eclipse.”
