A couple who played a song, “F**k Donald Trump,” as they were parked at a Vegas residence displaying a pro-Trump yard sign, got their car sprayed with bullets last week.

So far, the couple, not the shooter, were arrested for the violent incident.

Jennifer Lund, 38; and Timothy Parks, 45, remain in the Clark County Detention Center as of Saturday. They both were charged with assault, battery and stalking, according to Las Vegas TV station KLAS.

The incident began last Sunday when Parks and Lund decided to stop at the house. The song, also known as “FDT,” was being played from the car.

“Parks parked his Tesla in front of the residence with Lund in the passenger seat… [playing] the song …,’” police said.

Upon hearing the song, three men went up to the Tesla. Lund allegedly screamed at the trio. One of the men punched Parks, police said.

Then, one of three men pulled out a firearm. As the Tesla drove away, the man fired at least seven shots at the car.

Before leaving the location, the Tesla was put in reverse and the motorist drove over the foot of one of the three men, police said.

“Lund stated since [the people] put the Trump sign in their yard, she feels like she has every right to tell them how she feels about it,” according to a police report quoted by KLAS.

Lund advised this was not the first time she went to that house to play the … Donald Trump song. Lund states she hates Donald Trump and hates every person who represents or votes for him.”

The shooter later told police he fired the gun because he felt threatened, police said.

The couple appeared in Las Vegas Justice Court last week. Judge Rebecca Saxe set bail for both at $20K.

The exact location of the incident wasn’t revealed in local news reports.

Las Vegas Murder-Suicide

A Las Vegas man fatally shot his wife and then turned the gun on himself at a residence on Friday.

The Rancho Destino Road shooter died by suicide, police said.

A caller initially alerted the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD) about the shooting at 5:34 p.m. on Friday.

Police officers arrived at the residence. Officers entered the house and found the bodies. They had passed away in the apparent murder-suicide.

Autopsies will be performed by the Clark County coroner’s office. Their names will be identified, and doctors will confirm the cause and manner of death.
