A Los Angeles woman accused of shooting her young sons, killing one and critically wounding the other, has been charged with murder.
Prosecutors said Tuesday that La' Tonya Ann Dixon is also charged with attempted murder, assault on a child, and a special circumstance allegation of using a firearm. The 26-year-old mother faces multiple life sentences if convicted of all the charges.
Dixon, who is in custody, is set to be arraigned Monday.
Officers disarmed Dixon on Saturday after she called 911 to report that she shot her children. Her 5-year-old son was killed and her 1-year-old remains on life support.
Police have not released a motive.
