The officers had responded to a domestic situation involving Rediker and her wife at a Motel 6.

TBI agents said officers gave multiple commands for her to drop the gun, but she didn’t comply.

That’s when officers fired. Rediker was hit and taken to the hospital where she was treated and released.

Rediker has been charged with two counts of assault.

She was taken into custody on Wednesday and was being held in the Robertson County Jail on a $7,500 bond.
