A Georgia woman has been charged for allegedly shooting a young mom and then kidnapping the victim’s six-week-old newborn twins, authorities said.
Officers received a call Tuesday around 10:20 a.m., for a shooting in the 1500 block of NE 36th Street and found 23-year-old Gabrielle Rodgers suffering from gunshot wounds, Savannah Police Department said. Rodgers was taken to a nearby hospital in critical condition, authorities said.
Authorities discovered Angela Montgomery, 23, shot Rodgers before fleeing the scene of the crime with Rodgers’ twin sons, Matto and Lorenzo.
