May 19 (UPI) -- One woman died and another was wounded during an argument across the street from a graduation south of Atlanta, police said.

The shooting occurred around 8:45 p.m. Friday across the street after graduation concluded for an alternative school, Perry Learning Center, at Clayton County Schools Performing Arts Center, WSB-TV reported.

The incident occurred in the parking lot at Mt. Zion High School. Clayton County police said the two adult women shot were not students.
