The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department has declined to reveal the police report since it pertains to an open criminal investigation, but Jackson later posted that the charges had been upgraded to attempted murder.
Jackson has set up a Go Fund Me page where the donations have surpassed her stated goal of $15,000. The current amount donated is $19,427.
