The suspect in the shooting of a toddler outside a Stone Mountain Kroger supermarket surrendered at the DeKalb County Jail Wednesday.

The county Sheriff’s Office says Chazerel Burton has been charged with three counts of aggravated assault.

The shooting happened outside the Kroger store on North Hairston Road. A robbery at Chase Bank was foiled by a man whose two-year-old son was then struck by a bullet. The boy is still in hospital but recovering.
