Kennedy said Cook's injuries were considered life-threatening, but he is in stable condition after being airlifted from the scene. Martin was not critically wounded.

According to the VCU, both victims were living with Angela Martin, age 51, who is the mother of Katlyn Martin.

After interviewing her and other family members, the VCU arrested Angela Martin and charged her with two counts of attempted murder.

"After interviewing witnesses and securing the physical evidence it was determined that during a financial argument, the mother, Angela Martin, retrieved a firearm and shot both her daughter and her daughter’s husband," Kennedy wrote. "At this time, Martin has been charged with two counts of Attempted Murder and has been committed to the county jail with no bond."
