STOCKBRIDGE - A woman and her daughter were shot outside a private school in Rockdale County, and the woman's husband has been arrested, authorities said.
The woman had just driven up to Little Mountain Christian Academy to drop off her daughter around 6:30 a.m. Tuesday and was sitting in her car when gunshots rang out, sheriff's officers said.
"She heard gunshots and realized she'd been shot and realized her daughter had been shot and ran inside for help," Rockdale County Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Jodi Shupe said.
Police said 36-year-old Terrance Sherrod Roberson surrendered hours later at the sheriff's office in nearby Newton County and was charged with two counts of aggravated assault.
The woman was flown by helicopter to Atlanta Medical Center, where she was reported in serious but stable condition, while her 10-year-old daughter was at Children's Healthcare at Egleston.
Shupe said the couple had been separated and the woman filed for divorce on Monday.
Shupe said the woman often dropped off the 10-year-old at the school, and the girl would take a bus to Lorraine Elementary School.
Little Mountain Christian Academy has a Stockbridge address and is 20 miles southeast of Atlanta, in Rockdale County's southwest corner.
