WE WILL HAVE THE FULL STATEMENT
POSTED AT KDKA.COM.
THE WOMAN ACCUSED OF
OPENING FIRE INSIDE A LOCAL
WALMART IN CRITICAL APPEARED IN
COURT TODAY.
BRENDA WATERS IS LIVE WITH NEW
INFORMATION THIS EVENING.
Reporter: AT THE PRELIMINARY
HEARING EARLIER TODAY, THE MOST
SERIOUS CHARGE OF ATTEMPTED
HOMICIDE WAS DROPPED IN THE
CASE OF THE 22-YEAR-OLD WOMAN
WHO OPENED FIRE INSIDE A
WALMART IN THE AREA.
SHE STILL FACES AGGRAVATED
ASSAULT AND IF FOUND GUILTY,
SHE COULD FACE PRETTY SERIOUS
PRISON TIME.
I SPOKE WITH HER ATTORNEY A
LITTLE WHILE AGO.
I THINK THE EVIDENCE WILL
SHOW THAT SHE IS NOT GUILTY OF
ANYTHING.
THERE IS NO HIDING BEHIND THE
FACT THAT SHE HAD A GUN AND
THAT SHE USED IT,
Reporter: ACCORDING TO
ATTORNEY KENNETH HABER, HIS
CLIENT, THE 22-YEAR-OLD, WAS
SHOPPING WHEN SHE WAS APPROACHED
BY TWO CO-WOMEN WHO WANTED TO
ATTACK HER.
THERE WAS A VERBAL EXCHANGE AND
SHE WALKS AWAY.
AS A VIDEO SHOWS, SHE WAS
ATTACKED FROM BEHIND FROM BOTH
OF THEM.
MY CLIENT WAS PUNCHED REPEATEDLY
BY BOTH INDIVIDUALS.
THEN THEY ATTEMPTED TO DRAG HER
AND GET HER TO THE GROUND.
SHE DID HAVE A FIREARM.
SHE HAD IN HER PURSE.
SHE PURCHASED IT LEGALLY AND
SHE IS LICENSED TO CARRY IT.
ACCORDING TO THE ATTORNEY,
THE ALLEGED ATTACKERS DID NOT
APPEAR IN COURT TODAY.
THE COMMONWEALTH ONLY CALLED
ONE WITNESS, A DETECTIVE, AND
THEY SHOWED THAT VIDEO.
