An Arizona man dialed 911 after allegedly shooting his mother, then he apparently changed his mind and said she was just in her pottery studio.
Aaron Morse, 51, was charged with second-degree murder after police said he shot and killed his mother, 74-year-old Susan Morse, on April 16. According to court documents obtained by KTVK, a local CBS affiliate, officers responded to a 911 call made by Aaron Morse that afternoon. Aaron Morse spoke with dispatchers while sitting outside waiting for police, then asked if he could call “the whole thing off,” KTVK reported.
