West Nashville – A mother has been arrested following a shooting incident involving her 17-year-old daughter, which took place on Monday evening in their home. The Metro Nashville Police Department is currently investigating the case, revealing a series of events that led to the tragic encounter.
The incident unfolded in an apartment located on Maudina Avenue, where 36-year-old Ulondria Bond allegedly shot her daughter during a heated argument. According to law enforcement reports, the confrontation escalated into the shooting, which occurred when Bond reportedly fired a weapon through her daughter’s bedroom door.
It has been reported that Bond, who is a convicted felon, is prohibited from owning or carrying a firearm. At the time of the shooting, she claimed her intention was to frighten her daughter rather than cause harm. However, the bullet struck the daughter in the thigh.
Emergency responders arrived on the scene shortly after the incident, at which point Bond was taken into custody. She was booked late on Monday night and now faces serious legal repercussions, including charges of aggravated assault and felony gun possession. As of now, she remains in jail with a bond set at $30,000.
Bonds is scheduled for a court appearance on Wednesday, June 11, where she will likely learn more about the legal proceedings surrounding her case.

The exact cause of the conflict has not been disclosed as the investigation is still ongoing. The police have emphasized the importance of reviewing all aspects of the case to determine the circumstances that led to the alarming event.
Legal Context
Ulondria Bond’s history as a convicted felon plays a crucial role in the legal proceedings that will follow. As a felon, she is legally prohibited from possessing a firearm, which could result in additional charges beyond the assault. The law seeks to prevent individuals with felony convictions, particularly those related to violence or weapons, from accessing firearms to enhance public safety.
Community Implications
This incident sheds light on the critical issue of gun violence within families and households, raising concerns among residents in West Nashville and beyond. Community leaders and advocacy groups often stress the need for measures that can help reduce domestic disputes from escalating into violence, especially in the presence of firearms. Conversations about mental health resources, conflict resolution programs, and gun regulation are likely to resurface following this incident.
Conclusion
As the investigation continues, authorities are urging the public to remain aware of the signs of domestic conflict and the possible interventions available to prevent such incidents. Resources for conflict resolution and support remain critical components in addressing the underlying issues that lead families to confront one another violently.
The situation is developing, and updates will be provided as more information becomes available regarding Ulondria Bond’s court appearance and the outcome of the ongoing investigation.
