The backstory:
Authorities say both were killed in the early morning hours of July 17. Newton County sheriff’s deputies responded to a 911 call around 12:20 a.m. on Oak Meadows Drive and found the mother and son dead inside the home. At the scene, deputies encountered 53-year-old Willie Glenn, who told them his wife and son had been shot.
Following an investigation by the Newton County Sheriff’s Criminal Investigations Division, deputies arrested Glenn at the residence. He is facing two counts of murder, two counts of aggravated assault, and one count of possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime.
The Newton County Sheriff’s Office said the killings appeared to be domestic in nature, but a motive has not been confirmed.
