Antonio Planas is a breaking news reporter for NBC News Digital.

A Georgia woman who allegedly wounded two drivers on a Florida interstate Monday told people God directed her to carry out the shootings 'in relation to' the solar eclipse, authorities said. Taylon Nichelle Celestine, 22, was stopped on Interstate 10 near mile marker 96 on a felony traffic stop after being suspected of wounding two drivers a short time earlier, according to a statement from the Florida Highway Patrol.

It was unclear Monday night if Celestine had secured a lawyer who could comment on her behalf. The shooting occurred near Bonifay, which is about 50 miles north of Panama City. After making the comment at the hotel, Celestine entered the interstate near mile marker 112 and drove westbound, the highway patrol said. Within five miles of entering the interstate, Celestine allegedly fired a weapon and struck another vehicle multiple times.
