A Chesterfield County mother was arrested Monday and charged with brandishing a gun at her daughter’s school bus stop, police said.
Shiquita D. Reed, 33, of the 5100 block of Hackney Road, was charged with five misdemeanor counts of brandishing a firearm.
Police said they received information that a mother had come to the Manchester Middle School bus stop Monday morning with regard to other students bullying her daughter. Once there, students reportedly observed the woman with a handgun in a holster on her waist.
“She took it out of the holster and did not point it at the children themselves but pointed it at the ground,” said Chesterfield police Capt. Russ Lescault. “And while she was pointing it at the ground, she made threats toward the students.”
The students reported the incident to their principal upon their arrival to school. Police were called to investigate.
No students or staff was injured during the incident. Police said they have recovered the weapon involved.
