MOBILE, Alabama (WALA) — A Mobile County public school teacher accused of shooting into a car full of people, is claiming self-defense.
Kenisha Gilmore was arrested this week after police say she fired several shots into an occupied car.
Now, we’re getting her side of the story.
Gilmore’s attorney Marcus Foxx says a driver rammed Gilmore’s car before the gunfire.
Investigators say a fight between Gilmore and several other people started at a nightclub.
According to new court documents, Gilmore followed the victims back to their house on Old Shell Road.
Ring doorbell video showed the moment they got home around 2:30 Sunday morning.
Foxx says Gilmore was provoked when the driver of the other car attempted to side-swipe her on Springhill Avenue.
Foxx showed photos in court on Thursday showing the alleged damage to her car.
Foxx also says Gilmore’s car was rammed a second time at the house on Old Shell before any shots were fired.
Gilmore was released on a $20,000 bond.
She is on paid administrative leave from her teaching position at Scarborough Middle School.
