A Friday morning shooting on Boyd Holland Road left a 46-year-old woman dead with a gunshot wound in the back of her head  and her 15-year-old daughter shot in the wrist. The Robertson County Sheriff’s Office arrested 38-year-old Robert D. Mitchell, orginally charged him attempted first-degree murder and aggravated assault and put him in the Robertson County Jail.
