Overview
- The shooting, which occurred July 17, injured a 12-year-old who was selling bottled water and required hospital care before being released to begin physical therapy.
- Police say 33-year-old Cosetta Burrell fired at the boy, then fled in a vehicle that officers identified using Flock camera footage.
- Officers pursued Burrell for nearly six miles at speeds above 83 mph before stopping her with a PIT maneuver; four minor children were in the SUV and were shaken but not physically hurt.
- Prosecutors have filed 22 charges including first-degree reckless injury, child abuse and possession of a firearm by a felon, and bond was set at $100,000.
- The complaint and recorded calls cited by police say Burrell tossed the gun during the chase, admitted she meant to 'scare' the boy, and had been released from prison about a week earlier, raising local safety and legal concerns.
