A Utah high school teacher was booked Monday for allegedly killing her ex-husband’s girlfriend in front of her two 3-year-old children.
Chelsea Watrous Cook, 32, was visiting the apartment of her ex-husband, Travis Cook, in Midvale, to bring cold medicine to one of their children, Fox 13 reported.
Travis Cook’s new girlfriend, 26-year-old Lisa Williams, was inside the apartment.
Cook was reportedly asked to leave, but locked herself inside the bathroom. Once she left the bathroom, Cook appeared to walk toward her coat but suddenly pulled out a handgun, according to the report. She allegedly shot three to five rounds at Williams.
Travis Cook then reportedly grabbed the gun from his ex-wife and tended to Williams. When Cook tried moving back toward her coat, Travis Cook reportedly pinned her against the wall until authorities arrived on scene.
The ex-husband told police that he and Cook’s twin children were present during the alleged attack.
