A Covington woman has been charged in connection with the “parking lot rage” shooting outside a Target in DeKalb County, according to jail records.
Tara L. Moody, 40, was arrested Tuesday night after the incident outside the store on Lavista Road near I-285, police said. She’s charged with aggravated assault.
The victim, 47-year-old Robert Herwing of Decatur, apparently poured bottled water on Moody and her car in the moments before the shooting, Channel 2 Action News reported.
Herwing left his SUV after he and Moody tried to drive around a truck at the same time in the parking lot, police said. Neither driver budged, according to surveillance video, and Herwing then approached Moody, according to Channel 2.
He first poured water on her car, then poured it on her twice, police said.
“The female entered into her vehicle and appeared to produce a firearm,” according to the incident report, which was obtained by Channel 2.
After the shooting, the woman drove away from the scene, and Herwing, holding his chest, stumbled into the store, police said.
Herwing was in critical but stable condition Tuesday, police said at the time. No further information on his condition was available.
