Florida woman with gun threatens to blow children’s heads off for fishing behind her property. Karma came for her.

Video shows the heart-stopping moment a Florida woman is accused of holding children at gunpoint, allegedly even threatening to “blow their heads off.”

The woman in question, 59-year-old Donna Elkins, had reportedly called the police to report two young boys fishing behind her property. She told the dispatcher that she had “stopped them and they were laying on the ground.”

One of the boys, 15-year-old Brayden, told FOX13 that the woman threatened to end their lives multiple times during the horrifying encounter.

“She said she was going to blow our brains out and that if we didn’t listen to her, she would shoot — that she was going to blow our heads off,” the teen claimed.

Video of the incident appears to show Elkins ranting about her “private property” and her “right to protect” it by force. This, as the frightened boys lay on their bellies, one of whom had a broken arm and now reportedly suffers from back and shoulder pain according to his father:

It wasn’t until after the incident that the boys realized the firearm Elkins was allegedly holding was a BB gun.

“In my head, it was a real gun,” Brayden said, according to FOX13. “That she was going to shoot us and kill us and the fact that she was saying she was going to blow our heads off, you can’t do that with a pellet gun. I really thought it was real.”

“Authorities said the boys were fishing on a peninsula located near the pond, approximately 30 feet from Elkins’ property line,” the local outlet reported.

X users reacted to the shocking footage:

Not knowing the law and being incorrect in your assumptions caught her felony charges.

She let her emotions drive her decision making (bad idea).

The boys were fishing on community property, not trespassing on her property.
