Florida woman shot with arrows - A Florida man has been arrested after confessing to shooting and stabbing his mother to death. According to the Okaloosa County Sheriff's Office, the deadly family dispute was uncovered at 2:48 a.m. on Sunday after distress calls were received from Avon Lane, Mary Ester, Fl.
Reports indicate that upon arrival, officers found the Florida woman shot with arrows, Gloria Watkins, 65, slouched in a chair with arrows jutting out of her forehead. She was pronounced dead at the scene.
The 42 years old son of the Florida woman shot with arrows, Michael Watkins, confessed to the killing. He told officials that he shot her with both a gun and an arrow. He also stabbed her afterwards. She was shot at least three times.
Watkins told the cops that he brutally murdered his mother because she stole his diamonds and infected his father with cancer. He also claimed that she wanted to kill him.
Authorities have launched an investigation into the circumstances leading up to the death of the Florida woman shot with arrows. It's not clear what the motive is and why Watkins claimed that his mother was trying to kill him.
An autopsy has reportedly been conducted on the Florida woman shot with arrows as part of investigations into her death. Local sources say Watkins has been charged with murder and resisting arrest.
The Sheriff's office says Watkins resisted arrest by repeatedly ignoring instructions to get on the ground. Although he later obeyed the order, reports indicate that he stood up and removed a large knife from a sheath on his belt.
The death of the Florida woman shot with arrows has sent shockwaves through the local community. "Nothing like this has [ever] happened--not anybody being killed," Michael Troccoli, a resident of Mary Ester said.
