DEKALB COUNTY, Ga. – Court records show a teacher’s assistant who was arrested after pushing down a student was also arrested earlier this year after police say she fired a gun at a group of teenagers.

Channel 2 Action News first reported on Carlas Smith, a teaching assistant at McNair Discovery Learning Academy, earlier this week. Smith, 47, is accused of using her hands to push a 10-year-old boy to the floor at school on Dec. 7. Smith was arrested Thursday on simple battery charges.

Channel 2’s Christian Jennings dug into Smith’s background and found that she was also arrested for an incident with minors in April. Jennings tracked down Smith’s arrest report at the DeKalb County Courthouse.

According to documents, Smith was arrested in April for shooting at a group of teens who were using a cut-through on her property to get to a nearby store. Smith was charged with reckless conduct.

Two of those teens’ mothers reached out to Jennings. Shadonna Veney and Tulisu Walker called Jennings as soon as they saw the report of Smith’s arrest on Channel 2 Action News. Veney and Walker said they are stunned that Smith was still being allowed to work with children.

“I watched it on Channel 2, and I couldn’t believe it,” Walker said. “She needs to be fired and go to jail.”
