Mobile Police charged a woman Wednesday who encouraged groups of teenagers to become involved in a fight that later led to her and her son being shot.

Danielle Campbell, 40, was charged with inciting a riot after driving her own children to the Ladd-Peebles Stadium in midtown where she encouraged them to fight with another group of teens. During the Oct. 9 incident Campbell was shot in the hip while her 15-year-old son was shot in the knee.



At a press conference Wednesday, Police Chief Lawrence Battiste said that parents needed to help present solutions to violence and homicide in Mobile instead of adding to the problem.

"If you are a parent and you engage in this type of behavior even if you are the victim -- if you happen to be the victim in the process, if we can prove you acted recklessly we are going to look to press charges against you as well," said Chief Battiste. "We expect more from our parents. We're asking they embrace their roles as parents -- protect their children, because this was senseless and reckless and we have to do better in this community."

Along with identifying the juvenile shooters, Chief Battiste said charges against Campbell could increase as the investigation continues.
