Mother Shot Dead While Decorating Christmas Tree

This is just sad to report! A woman who was shot to death in Utah while making Christmas decorations with her boyfriend's young children was allegedly killed by his ex-wife, according to Sources.

Lisa Vilate Williams had been in a relationship with Travis Cook, her alleged killer's ex-husband, for six months.

She was making homemade festive ornaments with Mr Cook's three-year-old twins on 25 November, when Chelsea Cook entered the apartment and shot her in front of the children.

Mr Cook took his ex-wife's gun away and pinned her to a wall to stop her escaping until police arrived, officials said.
