TUSCALOOSA, Alabama -- A 52-year-old woman was arrested south of Tuscaloosa Friday morning after she allegedly tried to kill her own son, a spokesman for the county's metro homicide unit said Friday afternoon.
Lt. Kip Hart, the unit's assistant commander, said Amanda Williams was arguing with her 28-year-old son over an on-going dispute Friday morning when she pulled a gun and tried to shoot him.
Tuscaloosa County Sheriff's deputies were dispatched at 10:30 Friday morning to investigate the gunshot and took Williams into custody.
During their investigation, they found probable cause to charge her with attempted murder for the incident. She was taken the Tuscaloosa County Jail and will remain there pending a $60,000 bond.
Hart said the incident took place in the 11000 block of Skelton Road, south of Tuscaloosa. In her mugshot, Williams appears to have been seriously beaten, but Hart said those injures are from a prior incident and are not related to this case.
