Polk sheriff: 'Most wonderful mom in the world' shot and killed by son for telling him to stop smoking inside

Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said Seth Settle shot and killed his mother Thursday after she told him to stop smoking inside his room in their Lake Wales home. During a press conference Friday, Judd said – by all accounts – the victim was "the most wonderful mom in the world" and the family was regarded as nice and hard-working.

Judd said the victim's husband, Settle's father, left for work like normal Thursday morning. Just after 9:30 a.m., he received a call that his wife was taken to the hospital. By the time he picked up his daughter from school and got home, he was notified that his wife had died. Judd said after the mother had already been pronounced dead at the hospital, a nurse noticed what appeared to be puncture wounds on the victim's body. It turned out, she had been shot through the heart. She did not bleed out because her heart immediately stopped when the bullet went through, according to the sheriff.After finding Settle, who fled from the home after the shooting, investigators say he confessed to shooting his mom through the door of his bedroom.

The sheriff said his deputies believe Settle shot his mother through the door on purpose out of anger.
