College student is slain in a national park by a woman pretending to be a stranded motorist, police say
Authorities said the 5-year-old child of a second suspect drew on police with a loaded shotgun as his mother was being taken into custody.
A would-be robber pretending to be a stranded motorist killed a Florida college student who had pulled his own weapon in self-defense during a gunfight in Alabama, authorities said.

Adam Simjee, 22, and his girlfriend, Mikayla Paulus — both students at the University of Central Florida — were driving through Talladega National Forest near Cheaha State Park when they were flagged down Sunday by suspect Yasmine Hider, the Clay County Sheriff's Office said in a statement.

Hider said her car had broken down and when the victims offered their help, she "produced a gun and made the couple walk back into the woods," according to the sheriff.

Simjee then pulled his concealed handgun and wounded Hider "multiple times" before he too was shot and then died at the scene, the sheriff said.

It’s Florida so that makes sense.

Oops. I misread that. Alabama. The students were from a university in Florida.

Yep;

I could not get to the full article due to ad blockers, but found it elsewhere on the interlinks.

This is worthy of a book, or television show.

"...Authorities using a dog tracking team and a state police helicopter found a camp where they saw Pinkins, whose 5-year-old son ran from the woods with a loaded shotgun as officers were arresting her, sheriff’s officials said.

No more shots were fired, and Pinkins was taken to the Clay County jail. Her son was taken by child welfare workers, and Pinkins was charged with endangering the welfare of a child in addition to the other counts.

The women may have been living “off the grid” in the National Forest, the sheriff’s statement said, and forestry workers dismantled their camp...."

The headline suggests that she was pretending to be a stranded motorist.

I'm pretty sure her car wasn't working.

The way this story has played out, the car's true owner is probably buried not far from it.

My head hurts from trying to keep all that straight.

At 5 he knows how to run a shotgun?

I get that this is bad but I gotta admit to being slightly impressed.

Obviously not too well if he had the drop on the cops and nothing happened. The fact that he attempted anything does not bode well for that kids future. He is damaged goods, sadly.
