The teenager is charged as an adult after an incident in which she and a 12-year-old boy allegedly shot at Florida deputies.
VOLUSIA COUNTY, Fla. - At a pretrial hearing for a 14-year-old girl accused of shooting at Florida deputies, a couple offered to adopt her, saying the system failed the teen.
“We just have good intentions in mind for her. So, we pray for her every day, and if we can give her a family, we’d be willing to do that,” Shauna Willis said. Jackson is charged as an adult after a June incident in which she and a 12-year-old boy allegedly shot at Volusia County Sheriff’s deputies. She faces felony charges that include attempted murder of a law enforcement officer.
Investigators say on June 1, Jackson and the 12-year-old ran away from a children’s home in Osteen, broke into an unoccupied house and armed themselves with weapons they found. When deputies surrounded the property, the children allegedly opened fire on them.“I assume she would go back in the foster system. We would prefer that if adopting her would keep her out of that system, then we would do that,” Dan Willis said.
