<p>A Georgia beauty queen is accused of shooting her boyfriend, possibly during a fight over another woman, police said.</p><p>Miss Savannah Sharron Nicole Redmond, 21, was charged with aggravated assault after the Tuesday night shooting and was released on $5,000 bail Wednesday. The charge could be upgraded to murder if the man she is accused of shooting, 25-year-old Kevin Shorter, dies, police said.</p><p>Shorter was listed in critical condition Thursday at Memorial Health University Medical Center, said hospital spokeswoman Sandy Griffin.</p><p>The circumstances of the shooting are still sketchy, but police said it occurred outside a home belonging to the father of another woman Shorter was dating.</p><p>It probably had something to do with both of the (women) believing they were in an exclusive relationship with the same guy, said Sgt. Mike Wilson, a spokesman for the Savannah-Chatham County Police Department.</p><p>As Shorter left the home, he and Redmond started arguing, investigators said.</p><p>Shorter was shot in the lower abdomen, and then he ran back into the house and collapsed.</p><p>Redmond fled the scene and was arrested later at her home, police said. At the time, police were unaware of her status as Miss Savannah, Wilson said.</p><p>I dont think anyone had a clue, he said. At some point someone says, `You know, shes someone. But thats not really a point of interest for the police.</p><p>A high school teacher, Redmond graduated summa cum laude from Spelman College in Atlanta after completing a double major in English and pre-medicine in three years, according to the Miss Savannah Web site. She was in the process of getting her masters degree in education.</p><p>Redmond assumed the Miss Savannah title in August when Andrea Bailey _ who was originally crowned Miss Savannah _ won the title of Miss Georgia and went on to compete in the Miss America competition. Redmond also was pursuing a singing career.</p><p>Redmond will likely wont lose her crown as Miss Savannah unless shes convicted, said Tim Strickland, co-chairman of the Miss Savannah pageant.</p><p>Until things progress from the judicial end, we cant make a decision, Strickland said Thursday. Someone has to be prosecuted and then found guilty is the way that reads from our end. You cant take any rights away from any individual until you know what happened.</p><p>Redmond could not immediately be reached for comment Thursday. It was unclear whether she had hired a defense attorney.</p>
