A woman accused of bringing a gun to a Charlotte elementary school this week threatened to shoot another parent's vehicle during an argument, according to an affidavit.
Shanique Williamson, 31, was arrested shortly after a dispute with another parent during drop-off on Wednesday, officials said. Students and staff were sheltered in place until investigators were able to give an all-clear for threats.
According to an affidavit obtained by WCNC Charlotte, Williamson argued with another parent while dropping off her child. At some point, Williamson allegedly pulled out a pistol and threatened to shoot the other parent's car.
About an hour later, Williamson returned to the school, spoke with police and consented to a search of her vehicle. The affidavit alleges that the officers found a .45-caliber Glock 30 handgun. She also admitted to bringing the gun to the school twice. As a result, she was charged with two counts of bringing a gun onto educational property and given a $10,000 bond.

No students or staff members were hurt during the incident, CMPD said.
Note: WCNC instituted a policy in March 2021 regarding the broadcast or posting of mugshots.
WCNC will only air or post a mugshot if the person has been formally charged with a crime and in a few other cases. The exceptions include: If it appears the person could be a danger to themselves or others or if they are wanted by authorities; to differentiate between people with a common name; if the photos could encourage more victims to come forward. The news-editorial leadership may also decide to use a mugshot based on the severity of the crime(s) committed and/or the level of public interest in the crime and ensuing criminal proceedings.
