MARY ESTHER, Fla. (AP) A Florida man told police he shot his mother with a gun and a bow-and-arrow and then stabbed her Sunday because he claimed she "stole his diamonds and also gave his father cancer," authorities said.
The Okaloosa County Sheriff's Office received a call at 2:48 a.m. Sunday reporting a man knocking over Christmas decorations and yelling at another person. When deputies arrived, they found 65-year-old Gloria Watkins slumped forward in a chair with arrows protruding from her head.
Her son, Michael Watkins, 42, admitted to the killing, according to an arrest report.
"You see that, that's death," Watkins said as he pointed to his mother, according to the report.
