PALM BAY, Fla. -- The mother of a 13-year-old boy accused of shooting two other teens in Palm Bay over the weekend was arrested and went before a judge Wednesday.

Brenda Maldonado is charged with culpable negligence and unsafe storage of a firearm in connection with the double shooting of the juveniles this past Saturday afternoon.

Palm Bay Police say she was negligent and didn't store the gun used in the double shooting safely, making it easy for her 13-year-old son to get a hold of the black and pink 9-millimeter handgun from her bedroom.

Maldonado smiled and joked for the cameras before going before a judge.

Maldonado’s attorney, Brian Savy, wanted to reduce her bond, claiming that she did in fact store her gun safely. Savy was hoping to reduce her bond to $5,500, but the judge decided to keep it at $55,000. 

Records indicate that Maldonado doesn't have a criminal history.

According to court documents, her son allegedly shot the teens because he had issues with them, along with a girl. 

Maldonado will be back in court on June 19. Her son's next court date is June 7.
