(Memphis 11-19-11) - Tamara Harris is grateful her family escaped, after she says 30-year old Monique Golden tried to run her family over with a van.
?Somebody could have been dead,? said Harris. ?She could have killed my kids, could have killed my fianc�, could have killed me.?
Harris says Thursday she and Golden got into an argument and Friday morning Golden showed up with a van full of children, one of them Golden?s� 14-year-old son and he had a rifle.
Harris says Golden tried to run over her and her eight kids as they were walking out the front door for school.
?I turned around and pushed them back into the house,? Harris said, as she reenacted what happened.
Harris says her fianc� shot at the van in self-defense hitting a 17-year-old in the hand. Golden then sped off.
Harris says she then took her children to the bus stop so they could go to school and Golden tried to run her family over a second time.
?The old lady that?s standing on the front porch right there was in the yard,? she said, as she pointed across the street. ?She was like 'Move out of the way. Here she comes again. Ya'll go, run?.?
They escaped but Golden did not. Police arrested her and charged her with ten counts of aggravated assault.
?They should have given her more than that because she endangered her own kid?s lives,? said Harris.
She is just thankful no one was seriously hurt. ?I thank God that it didn't come out worse than it did,? said Harris.
No one answered the door when News Channel 3 went by Golden?s home Saturday afternoon.
She is also charged with Contributing to the Delinquency of a Child. Her 14-year-old son is charged with Aggravated Assault.
