A Hamilton mother shot at two police officers in an effort to help her ram-raiding teenage children avoid arrest, as they fled around various Waikato streets last December

Open Justice reports she messaged her kids soon after saying "I just shot the pigs".

The 32-year-old woman, who can't be named in order to protect her children's identity, then did it again, less than an hour later, firing a shot at a policeman as he spoke with a resident outside in the Hamilton suburb of Bader.

Yesterday, she pleaded guilty to three charges of using a firearm against law enforcement and another of being an accessory after the fact in relation to another aggravated robbery.
