Miami-Dade police said it all started when she was driving and got into an argument with another driver who she said made fun of her.
According to the arrest form, the driver of a white Mercedes-Benz shot at Thomas first after Thomas pointed a gun at her and said, "[Expletive], I can kill your ass!"
Police said Thomas admitted to shooting back at the woman.
The Miami-Dade Police Department's ShotSpotters detected 11 shots were fired during the gun fight near a Papa John's Pizza restaurant at 2537 NW 54th St. The first alert reported eight gun shots and the second alert reported three gun shots.
After the shooting, Thomas' car was heavily damaged. The other woman's Mercedes-Benz only had one bullet hole on the driver's door.
Police said one of Thomas' bullets grazed the woman's left breast, so she called 911 and paramedics took her to a nearby hospital.
