A Florida woman was busted for allegedly holding two boys at gunpoint and repeatedly threatening to “blow their heads off” in a maniacal uproar after she found the teens fishing in a pond near her backyard.

Donna Elkins, 59, was arrested Friday after she brandished a long black pellet gun and ordered the 13- and 15-year-olds to the ground while telling police on the phone she had “petrified them,” “stopped them” and had them “laying on the ground” of her Melbourne yard, according to Fox 13 and one victim’s family.

“She said she was going to blow our brains out and that if we didn’t listen to her, she would shoot – that she was going to blow our heads off,” eighth-grader Brayden, 15, told the outlet of the terrifying incident.

Well, she looks like a nice enough person. SMH

I wonder if she’s single

I don’t believe you’re allowed to blow someone’s brains out with a pellet gun for trespassing.

I've lived in Florida. Venice. Deland. Madeira Beach. I'm telling you. People there are cra-cra-crazy! Freaking Snow Birds who move there are a plague worse than Kalifornians infesting civilization.

They got really scared when she threatened to date them .

From the comments section:

If she isn't jailed, you'll know that's the case.

I read the article and it said that her husband saw what she was doing and “he disarmed her”.

He probably is hoping she gets locked up!

Well, was a really good spot to fish? I mean, sometimes you just got to fish.

Perhaps she “identifies” as a game warden and the kids were over their limit. Setting up her defense as the disgusting “I was just doing my ‘job’” excuse.

With that mugshot I’m starting to reconsider the two sexes theory.

Those snowbirds aren’t used to having strangers roll up on their property. My dad used to sit on his lake house deck with a rifle pointed at every jet ski that passed by. I was afraid he would pull the trigger, he never did but. The skiers moved down lake eventually.

First picture.... That’s a MAN, baby...

In Florida Man and Florida Woman incidents, alcohol or another intoxicant is often involved.

Needs the man-juice.

She’s some lucky guy’s ex-wife… and maybe some even luckier guy’s ex-mother-in-law.
