Florida couple arrested after shooting at Black men dropping off U-Haul van

A white Florida couple was arrested last week after shooting at two Black men who were dropping off a U-Haul van.

Charles McMillon Jr., his 10-year-old son and Kendrick Clemons were sitting in McMillon’s truck after dropping off a U-Haul van at the rental location in Tallahassee Thursday night when a gunshot was fired. The two looked behind them and saw an older couple approaching the truck shouting for the men to surrender, McMillon told the Tallahassee Democrat.

McMillon managed to drive off as more shots rang out.

“It was a life-threatening situation,” McMillon said. “I didn’t even know where I was going. I had my head down and I was making sure my son was covered. And I just pushed the gas to the floor. Didn’t know if I was going to hit something or not.”
