A Nashville woman has been charged with firing several shots into the building that houses Tennessee Department of Children’s Services offices in Nashville, reports WTVF-TV.
According to police, 30-year-old Yolanda Trice was told that her baby, who was at Tri-Star Centennial for an unknown reason, was going to be placed into foster care. After becoming angry at the DCS worker, Trice left the DCS building on 2nd Avenue North. She then allegedly came back Thursday night with a gun.
A witness reported to police that he heard multiple gunshots being fired at the building, and actually saw the female shooter walk right past him, wearing a white fur-lined winter jacket…They then found surveillance video from the hospital where her child was, and saw Trice wearing a white fur-lined jacket leaving the hospital soon before the shooting.
Trice was arrested Monday night on a reckless endangerment charge.
It’s lucky that no one was hurt because one of the bullets Trice allegedly shot actually went inside the DCS building, just a few feet away from where some employees were working.
….Records show Trice has a criminal history, with multiple charges of aggravated child neglect and abuse as well as several assault charges. She remained jailed on $25,000 bond.
