A 76-year-old Georgia woman is facing murder charges after police say she opened fire inside the home her ex-husband shared with his girlfriend.

Grace Edge is accused of killing Wallace Edge, 75, along with Pamela Cook, 40. Authorities say she walked into the couple's house in the small town of Uvalda and shot five times.

A third victim

Cook's mother, Diane, was also hit. She suffered a gunshot wound to her arm.

A person who called for help reportedly told dispatchers there had been no fight beforehand. The caller said the shooter simply came inside and began firing.

What the sheriff says

Speaking with local reporters, Toombs County Sheriff Jordan Kight said Grace "was not accepting of the situation" when it came to her former husband's new romance.

Their divorce was finalized over a decade ago. Even so, they reportedly kept drifting back together now and then.

The charges

Grace faces two counts of malice murder plus two counts of felony murder. She is also charged with three counts of aggravated assault.

She has not been convicted. The case remains under investigation.
