LARGO — A 25-year-old Largo woman has been charged with attempted murder for telling two other suspects to open fire on two people Friday afternoon, authorities said.

Christina Nelson and two other suspects got into an argument over money with the two victims about 1:45 p.m. at 1731 Washington Ave. S, the Pinellas Sheriff's Office said. Nelson told the other two suspects to shoot at the victims and one of the suspects opened fire, deputies said. The victims fled and no one was injured.

Deputies arrested Nelson at her home a short time later and booked her into the Pinellas County Jail on two counts of attempted murder. She was being held without bail Friday.

Investigators were still working Friday to identify and locate the other two suspects.
