NASHVILLE — A 36-year-old woman is facing serious charges after she shot her teenage daughter during a heated argument at their home in Nashville, Tennessee. The shocking incident happened on Monday and has left the community stunned. The daughter, 17, is now recovering in the hospital, while her mother, Ulondria Bond, sits behind bars.
Police say the argument between Bond and her daughter escalated quickly and turned physical. In the heat of the moment, Bond reportedly grabbed a gun and fired a shot through the closed bedroom door where her daughter had gone to get away. The bullet struck the teen in the thigh. Bond later told investigators that she did not intend to hit her daughter and only meant to scare her.
Emergency responders were called to the scene shortly after the shooting. The teenage girl was rushed to a nearby hospital for treatment. Thankfully, doctors say she is expected to recover from the injury. No other injuries were reported, and police were able to arrest Bond at the home without further incident.
Bond has been charged with aggravated assault and reckless endangerment. Authorities say her actions were extremely dangerous and could have resulted in an even more tragic outcome. While she claimed she did not mean to harm her daughter, investigators believe the decision to fire a weapon inside the home was reckless and put lives at risk.
Neighbors expressed shock and sadness over the incident, saying they never expected such violence in the area. “It’s heartbreaking,” one neighbor said. “She’s a mother — you don’t expect something like this between a parent and child.” The incident has raised concerns about gun safety in homes and how quickly domestic arguments can turn dangerous when weapons are involved.
The investigation is still ongoing, and Child Protective Services has been notified. Officials are looking into whether there were any prior reports of domestic issues in the household. As the daughter begins to heal from her physical wounds, the emotional scars may take much longer to fade. Meanwhile, Ulondria Bond remains in custody, awaiting her next court hearing. The case serves as a painful reminder of how a split-second decision made in anger can lead to lasting consequences for an entire family.
