A mother in Arlington, Tennessee was arrested after her school child wrote a story about “Mommy” shooting “Daddy.”

Kaydra Johnson, 28, was arrested by police officers on Monday and accused of multiple charges of reckless endangerment.

Her kindergarten-age daughter wrote a story in school about her parents’ argument and said her mother shot her father inside their Arlington, Tennessee house while the children were watching.

According to the Sheriff’s department, the school counselor at the Donelson Elementary School notified the Department of Children’s Services about potential child abuse, as the child and her siblings were present in the home when the shooting occurred.

The child said her mother asked her father to get out because he was smoking too much. She said her dad hit her mom in the eye, and her mother grabbed a gun from the mattress and shot her dad three times.

The child vividly described that she witnessed the incident while on the living room couch with her siblings. She said her mother warned her father not to come back or she would shoot him again and told him to sleep in his car.

When the police arrived at the house they were told that the mom, Johnson, was locked out of the house.  Inside the house, a one-year-old and a four-year-old were alone. Police report that Johnson had bruises and a cut near her right eye.

After the children had spent an hour and a half alone inside, they seemed okay when police entered the home after breaking open the garage door and gaining access to the house, where firefighters were able to check on the kids.

Officers found several bullet holes in the walls of the entire home. Johnson admitted she shot at her husband at least twice, but that he broke into the house and beat her with a vacuum cleaner. She said that the children were all present when she shot him. Her husband was not injured.

The house was searched, and two guns were found. The Department of Children’s Services gave custody of two of the children to their grandmother, and the other two to their aunt.

Johnson was released from jail and has a court date of February 23.
