The victim's two young sons were home at the time of the shooting. Jail records show Wall also is charged with cruelty to children, a charge often filed when children are present at violent crimes.

Police did not release a motive.

The victim taught kindergarten at Kemp Elementary School in Cobb County. A school website says she was a graduate of Harrison High in Kennesaw, Georgia, and the University of Georgia and had taught at two other schools in Cobb County.
