A woman facing murder charges is accused of giving a firearm to her mother who then shot herself to death. In Oklahoma County District Court this week, Jaye Dee Watts, 44, was charged with first-degree murder in the commission of a crime, second-degree murder, kidnapping and aiding suicide by furnishing a weapon. Court documents reveal the shocking allegations. About 7:13 p.m. on Sept. 10 ... Oklahoma City police responded to a call about an attempted suicide involving a firearm. The caller was a hospice employee who said she had received a phone call from Watts, the victim’s daughter. According to an affidavit that was part of an arrest warrant filed by a homicide detective, Watts told the hospice employee that her mother, 72, shot herself. The hospice employee called 911 after speaking with Watts, and responding officers found Watts’ mother dead inside the home. 
Editor's Note: The descriptions are graphic. This is not an example of "Medical Aid in Dying" for the purpose of ending suffering, but rather an example of elder abuse paired with workplace violence.
