NORTHWEST MIAMI-DADE, FLA. (WSVN) - A woman who was working as a delivery driver for Papa John’s has been arrested after firing shots at another driver in Northwest Miami-Dade.

Police responded to the area of Northwest 25th Avenue and 55th Street, near a Papa John’s, just before 8 p.m., Wednesday.

7News cameras captured investigators on the scene near a car with a bullet hole in the window.

Officials said two women were arguing over a road rage incident when one of the women, 43-year-old Georgina Thomas, a Papa John’s employee, pulled out a gun and threatened the other.

According to the arrest report, the victim then reached into her glove compartment and fired shots in the direction of Thomas.

Officials said a total of 11 rounds were fired before Thomas drove off, made a U-turn and drove straight towards the victim.

The victim said while she was running away, Thomas fired three more shots in her direction and then drove to a nearby shopping center.

She called 911 and told dispatch the person who shot at her was wearing a Papa John’s uniform and believes she may have headed there.

Officers responding to the scene located Thomas in front of the store and took her into custody.

Thomas told officers the victim produced a firearm, which she claims led her to return fire in self-defense as she headed towards her job to tell her manager what just happened, according to the arrest report.

The victim was treated on scene after suffering a laceration to her chest, while Thomas was fired from her job.

The 43-year-old made her first court appearance Thursday, where her defense attorney pleaded with the judge to allow her to post bond before trial.

“There’s literally no humanly possibly way to make a determination as to who is the aggressor,” said Thomas’ attorney. “We definitely know there’s a shootout that goes both directions.”

However, Judge Gerald Hubbart denied Thomas to post bond.

Thomas faces charges of attempted first-degree murder with a deadly weapon and discharging a firearm from a vehicle.
