DECATUR — Police are searching for a teenage juvenile suspect they say shot his mother in the leg during a domestic incident in the 2500 block of East Garfield Avenue.

Lt. Shannon Seal said police were sent to the residence at 4:23 p.m. Friday. The initial investigation indicated that the son shot his 36-year-old mother during an argument, she said.

Police had already visited the same address shortly before 2:30 p.m. on another domestic call involving the same people, she said. An arrest had been made on a preliminary charge of battery in the first incident.

Rhonda Carter, who lives across the street, told the Herald & Review that she was on the phone when she heard multiple gunshots and went outside. She said she saw a woman who had been shot in the leg next to a car across the street. A family member who had just arrived at the home was already with her and calling 911.
