A 14-year-old girl in Mississippi has been identified after being charged as an adult in the alleged murder of her mother, a high school math teacher, and the attempted murder of her stepdad, local authorities reportedly revealed Wednesday.

Carly Madison Gregg stands accused of opening fire on Tuesday evening and killing 40-year-old Ashley Smylie at their Brandon home on Ashton Way, not far from the Magnolia State’s capital of Jackson. Rankin County Sheriff Bryan Bailey said that Gregg also shot her stepdad in the arm, but the man fought back, grabbed the gun, and survived, AL.com reported.

After the shooting, the teen defendant reportedly fled the scene by hopping a fence, prompting investigators to track her movements by helicopter and arrest her approximately a half hour after authorities first learned of the deadly violence.
