An early morning confession at a Grand Prairie police station spiraled into a grim discovery when a 30-year-old woman admitted to shooting an elderly resident in Dallas, authorities said Sunday.
After Kelsie Miles walked into the police department, she revealed the location of the crime in the 4700 block of Colwick Avenue, Dallas 9-1-1 was alerted around 5:10 a.m., on Saturday. Dallas officers, finding the home silent and fearing for the occupant's safety, had to force their way in where they found 80-year-old Betty Hearn fatally shot, as reported by the Dallas Police Department.
