Former Professor at the University of West Georgia Charged with the Murder of a Freshman Student
A now-fired professor at the University of West Georgia has been accused of fatally shooting an 18-year-old woman, officials said.
Richard Sigman, 47, was arrested and charged with murder shortly after Anna Jones, 18, died after being shot in a parking deck in Carrollton, Georgia on Saturday, the Carrollton Police Department said.
Police said the officers were initially called to the Tanner Medical Center in Carrollton at around 12:30 a.m. over reports of a woman who had been shot.
