A young mother from Savannah was shot and her twin boys abducted by a woman she apparently met on Facebook.
As reported by WJCL News, Angela Montgomery, 23, shot Gabrielle Rodgers, 23, on Wednesday in the head and chest, sending Rodgers into a serious, although a stable condition.
At the time of the shooting, Rodgers was in the company of Matteo and Lorenzo Rodgers, her 6-week-old twin boys. Nevertheless, information on why Rodgers consented to meet an outsider with her children and why Montgomery ran off with Rodgers’ babies is still undisclosed.
Montgomery had supposedly been talking to new mothers and was using Facebook to target them.
