MIAMI (CBSMiami/AP) - A woman in northern Florida is in trouble after she reportedly allowed her kids to shoot homeless men with BB guns.
Amina El-Zayat, 36, has been charged with aggravated battery, contributing to the delinquency of minors and child neglect.
A DeLand police report says El-Zayat was driving when her children shot BBs from two airsoft rifles at the man who was picking through garbage at a gas station.
The victim told police the children cursed him and fired, then later returned and did it again.
Police found the airsoft rifles and BB pellets in El-Zayat's vehicle.
El-Zayat told police she's been having trouble with transients rummaging through the trash at a nearby car wash her family owns.
