Nurse Who Praised Trump's COVID Response at RNC is Under Arrest for Shooting Woman During Argument
Source: Law and Crime
A West Virginia nurse who was one of the featured speakers during this years Republican National Convention (RNC) was on Thursday reportedly arrested and charged in connection with a shooting which required another woman to be air-lifted to a hospital for surgery, according to reports from several local news outlets, including WSAZ-TV.
Amy Johnson Ford, 39, also known as Amy Jolene Thorn and Amy Johnson, the reports say, was detained by officers with the Williamson Police Department and charged with malicious wounding in the shooting of Jonda Whitt.
Through the investigation we came to find out that two females got into a verbal argument, turning into one of the females getting a gun. She did shoot the victim one time in the abdomen area, Williamson Police Chief Grady Dotson told local ABC affiliate WCHS, Channel 8.
Dotson is also quoted as identifying the shooter as the same woman who spoke at the RNC.

(111,241 posts)I loved most of my fellow nurses, some of the smartest, savviest, and most compassionate people on the planet. I've also worked with a few clinkers here and there. The only saints I've ever seen were made out of plaster. Everybody else goofs up once in a while.
Something is wrong with this gal. Premeditation will likely come into it.
I hope her victim makes a full recovery. Abdominal wounds are nasty.

But license appropriation or nurse ID stealing seemed to be rampant years ago when I practiced in Texas.

(17,911 posts)when you search for her licensure as an RN or LPN (yes, you can do that), Amy Ford, Amy Thorn or combinations with middle names don't show up. I'm betting she's not even a nurse. More fake Rethug stuff.
