A Georgia woman, who was accused of shooting a teenager in the face, reportedly went to get a manicure after committing the crime.

The suspect, identified as Brittney Griffith, turned herself in on Sunday night, and was denied bond in her first appearance hearing Monday morning.

Douglasville Police Department said Griffith shot a 17-year-old girl in the face Sunday. The teenager was sitting in the front passenger seat of a car that was heading eastbound on I-20 from Villa Rica during the incident, according to CBS46.

“Witnesses in the victim’s vehicle said a female in a black sedan had been following them since Villa Rica where some type of road rage incident began,” the police department wrote on Facebook. “Somewhere on I-20 EB near Hwy 5, the suspect pulled up alongside the victim’s vehicle and fired at least one shot.”

Griffith’s three children, aged between 4 and 9, were also in the vehicle when she shot the teenager, and then exited at Chapel Hill Road. The suspect was accused of going to get her nails done while the injured victim was taken to the hospital. The police department said the victim, Ashlyn Crouch, was in stable condition.

One of the occupants in the victim’s vehicle managed to capture a picture of Griffith as the incident unfolded. The police department then widely shared the photo on Facebook, and received multiple calls from people about her identity.

Griffith turned herself in at the Douglasville Police Department Sunday by 11 p.m., according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

She appeared Monday morning for the first time in court, and had no comments when the judge questioned her about going to get a manicure after shooting the teenager.

“That just blows my mind. That makes me think she had no remorse,” the teenager’s mother, Dianna Crouch, told Channel 2′s Tom Jones. “(Ashlyn) was shot behind her ear and it came out through the side of her eye right here.”

She said the teenager was now recovering in a regular room after being transferred from the intensive care unit.

“People just need to take a deep breath, or just stay off the road,” Crouch added.
