(AP) — A woman accused of firing a gun during a struggle inside an Omaha ambulance says she didn’t have a gun in her possession.

In a jailhouse interview with several reporters on Thursday, 24-year-old Justine Dubois said she didn’t know where the gun came from.

Police say Dubois was arrested July 1 because she was driving a stolen car, but then she appeared to have a seizure in a police car.

Authorities say that while paramedics were taking Dubois to a hospital, she pulled a gun and started making threats. Both Dubois and an Omaha firefighter medic were wounded in a struggle.

On Thursday she acknowledged stealing the car and using some marijuana and methamphetamine the day she was arrested.
