A nurse has admitted to shooting dead a young mother in a town near Houston, Texas, and abducting her newborn baby, the BBC reported.

Verna McClain, 30, who faces capital murder charges, repeatedly shot Kala Marie Golden, 28, and snatched the boy from the woman before driving away.

Officials said the three-day-old infant was found unharmed with Ms. McClain's sister on Tuesday.

Prosecutors suspect the attack may have been part of a plan to abduct any boy. Ms. McClain has two children and has been separated from her husband for two years.

       维娜·麦克莱恩，现年30岁，向28岁的卡拉·玛丽·古登连开数枪后，夺走她的儿子，并驾车离开，她将面临死刑的谋杀罪指控。

       官方表示，这名婴儿刚刚出生三天，周二，他被发现和麦克莱恩女士的姐姐在一起，并未受伤。
