ATLANTA, Feb. 3 (UPI) -- A pregnant woman was killed and New Orleans Saints defensive end Charles Grant was stabbed in the neck in an incident in Georgia, it was reported Sunday.

Shots were fired outside a bar in Early County shortly after midnight, killing the woman, who was a bystander, WXIA-TV in Atlanta said.
