Monica Moore Arrested for defending her son.

Rockford police say officers were called to a local hospital around 5 p.m. Tuesday, March 31, after someone came in with a non-life threatening gunshot wound. In police documents filed in court, officers said the victim was not cooperative, did not give “information of evidentiary value” and did not want to press charges. Later, police said Moore contacted them saying she was involved in the shooting. According to court documents, Moore reported to officers she was driving her son to his friends’ house on March 31 when he asked to go to the Rambo gas station at 2211 Charles Street. Moore told police her son went inside the business and later a gray car parked next to her. The report says she told officers two males from the car went inside the gas station and eventually started punching her son.Court documents say she told police she made her way inside the building with her purple and silver 9mm SCCY pistol and fired it into the floor. The fight was then broken up and she reportedly left the gas station with her son. The investigator who interviewed Moore reports that she made some calls, dropped her son off at his friends’ house and then went home to meet with police. Officers reported they recovered the silver and purple handgun with five rounds in the magazine and one in the chamber. They also claim to have found a 9mm shell casing on the sidewalk outside the entrance to the gas station.
