A 36-year-old Georgia man has been charged with multiple felonies, including aggravated assault after he allegedly shot at a 17-year-old boy that he found with his daughter after tracking her location via her cell phone to a church parking lot. 

On Wednesday, deputies from the Habersham County Sheriff's Department responded to a call of shots fired in the parking lot of Central Alliance Church around 10:15 a.m. 

The church is located across the street from two schools in Mount Airy. Habersham Central High School district and the Ninth Grade Academy were immediately put on lockdown. 

School officials and police were on high alert after the deadly school shooting in Uvalde, Texas just one day prior that claimed the lives of 21 people, including 19 children and two adults. 

Once police ensured both schools were secure they located a 17-year-old male, who was transported to Northeast Georgia Medical Center in Gainesville with non-life-threatening injuries.  

Police later revealed that the male victim was not hit by a bullet, but suffered injuries from a physical assault and ricochet debris.

When police arrived, Dustin Vandegrift, the teenage girl's father was attempting to flee in his white Camaro, but he was detained for questioning, authorities said. 

A search warrant executed on Vandegrift's car revealed a .45-caliber pistol that he had fired, according to the police investigation.

Vandegrift was later charged with aggravated assault and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony.

He was also charged with simple battery involving family violence, two counts of first-degree cruelty to children, two counts of third-degree cruelty to children, and two counts of recklessly causing harm or endangering safety.

Vandegrift's daughter told investigators that her father appeared behind the church and battered her male friend before shooting at him. 

She also said told police that her father struck her.

Vandegrift admitted to police that he tracked his daughter's whereabouts to the church parking lot to 'check on her.' 

He told authorities that he confronted both teens and physically attacked the boy and fired a shot.

Vandegrift is currently being held without bond at Habersham County Detention Center.
