After three months of intensive rehabilitation, multiple surgeries and roughly 19 months away from her job, April Ross returned to the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office in November 2015. Her caseload would be focused on domestic violence cases, as she had spent the past year and a half recovering from three gunshot wounds from her estranged husband in April 2014. Ross was the highlighted speaker at the Domestic Violence Breakfast and Briefing Tuesday in Gainesville, which is presented by the Hall County Domestic Violence Task Force.
