According to an investigation, detectives said both parties had stopped at a red light and "engaged in an altercation," which led to Richards firing a gun at the other vehicle multiple times.
The other driver then fired a gun back at Richards and struck her in the lower body, leaving her with non-life-threatening injuries. She was taken to a local hospital.
Richards is facing charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, attempted murder in the second-degree firearm - discharge and shooting at, within or into a vehicle.
Deputies did not state if the other driver was facing any charges for striking Richards. This is still an ongoing investigation.
“You know, it might just be time we take a look if HOAs are really even necessary.
Maybe we should just do away with homeowner associations as a whole.”
South Florida lawmaker Rep. Juan Carlos Porras (R-Miami) says it may be time to do away with homeowners associations altogether, as more Floridians speak out about rising fees, costly lawsuits, and even arrests tied to HOA disputes. He said this week that he is considering filing legislation in the next session that would abolish HOAs statewide.
