Police have arrested a woman who they say shot and killed her ex-husband's girlfriend while delivering medicine to her young children.

Police say both children witnessed the killing and the chaos.

Chelsea Watrous Cook, 32, of Herriman, was booked into the Salt Lake County Jail Sunday for investigation of aggravated murder in the death of Lisa Vilate Williams, 26.

Cook is a health and yoga teacher at Skyridge High School in Lehi, according to the school's website and Cook's Facebook page. By midmorning Monday, Cook's profile had been removed from the high school's website. A spokesman for the Alpine School District said Cook was immediately fired.

The tragic incident unfolded just before 7 p.m. Sunday when Cook went to an apartment at 7690 S. Center Square to drop off cold medicine to one of her children. Cook went into the apartment while her ex-husband was in the parking lot.

"(Cook) was told to leave the apartment, but she refused to listen. (She) remained unlawfully inside of the apartment during this time. (She) then locked herself in the bathroom while (she) was on the phone with the 911 operator," a Salt Lake County Jail report states.

Cook then came out of the bathroom, walked to her coat, grabbed a handgun and fired three to five rounds at Williams, according to the report.

The ex-husband, who had by that point come back into the apartment, grabbed the gun from Cook and attempted to give first aid to his girlfriend, police say.

"(Cook) then walked over to their children and sat on the recliner chair," the report states.

When Cook got up to get her coat and leave, her ex-husband pinned her against a wall until officers arrived.

Williams was shot at least twice in the torso, according to police. She died from her injuries at a local hospital a short time later.

The couple's twins, both 3, were "present during the entire ordeal," the report states.

Jokes aside not only did she kill the girlfriend but she fucked up those kids for the rest of their lives. Poor kids damn

This. Not a lot funny when children are put in the middle of shit like this, and they have to go on with the rest of their forever changed lives, and stolen childhood.
