A manhunt is underway in Georgia for a man considered "armed and dangerous" after authorities say he wounded his ex-girlfriend and her boyfriend in a domestic violence-related shooting early Monday.

The incident happened around 2:40 a.m. at a home on Plantation Bridge Drive in Johns Creek, about 27 miles northeast of Atlanta, Johns Creek police said.

Responding officers found two victims, Heather Quiggle and Jerrold Knight, with gunshot wounds. Quiggle was shot in her chest while Knight was shot in a leg.

"Quiggle's son was at home during the incident, heard the gunshots, jumped out his window, and ran to a neighbor's house to get help," police said.
