An Omaha woman was taken into custody Saturday morning after driving her vehicle into a crowd, injuring two people.

Police say 26-year-old Rannettia Wilson had gotten into a fight with a large group of people in a parking lot at 24th and Lake streets around 1 a.m. She drove her SUV into the crowd, then left the area at a high rate of speed. She was stopped a short distance away.

Twenty-seven-year-old Ann Perry of Omaha was taken to the Nebraska Medical Center in critical condition and 24-year-old Shanna Ferguson of Omaha sustained minor injuries jumping out of the way of the SUV.

Wilson was booked on several counts, including first and second-degree assault, use of a weapon to commit a felony, driving under suspension and flight to avoid arrest.

I could say What? No guns? But this isn't funny - what a sad existence some of these folks must live, fighting to the point of hurting someone.

shanon, do you excuse someone for their actions when they're drunk? For this, I can call Rannettia stupid, whether drunk or sober.

Something is really wrong when you have to solve an argument by running into people with a car. We have all been angry, but show some control, go sit in your car and scream with the doors closed, don't run people down. Put this cow away for a long time! Sick!

Who needs a gun when you can improvise with a car? And she wasn't properly licensed for the vehicle. Go figure.
