Police are searching for an assistant principal at an Atlanta middle school who they suspect in the shooting of his wife four times while their children were getting ready for school Monday morning.

Rodney Denson, a member of the Kennedy Middle School faculty, is also being tied to another subsequent shooting of another woman at a home on Amberson Avenue, Fairburn police Chief Mackie Carson said.

19. sadly something like this happened here in Pittsburgh
about a month ago. A well-respected woman principal was killed by her husband. A friend of mine's daughter went to the school. Awful.
