A South Florida mother has bonded out of jail days after, police said, she accidentally shot her 15-year-old daughter during an argument at a McDonald’s in Northwest Miami-Dade.
Melissa Valbrum appeared before Miami-Dade Circuit Judge Dawn V. Denaro, Sunday morning. Denaro had strict orders for the 32-year-old, including staying away from her daughter.
According to Miami-Dade Police, Valbrum pointed a gun at a group of people during an altercation at the McDonald’s on Northwest Seventh Avenue and 95th Street, Friday night.
Investigators said the gun fell, firing a bulllet that struck Valbrum’s daughter in the shoulder.
