McCann, who allegedly admitted several times to shooting the victim, she would not leave me alone. I had no choice." She also allegedly told officers that she called the victim's mother to say "I just shot your daughter," Hurley said.

McCann was taken into custody and was being held without bond Monday. It was unknown whether she has an attorney.
