A woman and a young girl are dead and a man is hospitalized after a shooting in DeKalb County.
Investigators initially believed the woman shot the child and a man before killing herself.
Just before 9 p.m. on Friday night, police said they have since learned that it was a double murder, not a murder-suicide.
Roland Sukoo, 41, is in custody at a hospital and will face two counts of malice murder. He will be taken to the DeKalb County Jail when he is cleared by doctors.
