MEMPHIS, Tenn. (WMC) - A woman accused of shooting at a Memphis police officer is facing multiple charges, including attempted first-degree murder.
On April 20, an MPD officer was performing a traffic stop on Summer Avenue on a silver and green Infiniti.
According to police, when the officer approached the car, the driver pointed a semi-automatic handgun out the window and started shooting.
The officer shot back and the driver drove away, according to an affidavit obtained by WMC Action News 5.
A witness told investigators 37-year-old Rhonda Rawls rolled down her window and waited for the officer to approach the car before firing at him.
The officer was not hit by a bullet but a truck parked in a nearby Taco Bell parking lot was struck on the passenger side.
TBI agents were called in to investigate and found a semi-automatic handgun in the AutoZone parking lot, the affidavit states.
Rawls has a long list of charges, including: One count of attempted first-degree murder, one count of reckless endangerment with a deadly weapon, one count of being a convicted felon in possession of a handgun and one count of employment of a firearm with intent to commit a felony.

...and voted Biden/Harris/Democrat across the board.
So who was charged with attempted murder, the woman or the police officer?
i recall seeing a similar looking character on the simpsons...
no pun intended...
Lucky for the LEO it wasn’t a “fully”- semi automatic handgun. I hear those are more deadlier.
Why was the police offer charged with attempted murder?
let's not rush to judgement here, what are the facts of the case, not all the facts, we really need to know the color of the shooter and the color of the cop.
That’s a very good question.
Because the editor wanted it that way.
Carl, the tone deaf Osmond brother, was run out of Utah and ended up in Tennessee where he made a living sticking knives into electrical outlets.
Looks to have the IQ of a dandelion. Which she greatly resembles.
Looks about right for Memphis.
Place sure has gone downhill since Elvis hung out there.
