Woman who fatally shot man in her SE Atlanta home identified

An Atlanta woman has been arrested in connection with an overnight fatal shooting.

The shooting happened about 2:30 a.m. Friday inside a house on Clifton Road off Flat Shoals Road in southeast Atlanta.

Police are charging Victoria Rickman, 30, with murder and felony murder and are accusing her of shooting a 31-year-old male several times inside her home.
