An Indiana mother of three was fatally shot through her kitchen window while making a TikTok video with a friend — allegedly by a stalker ex-boyfriend who, she had ominously predicted, might kill her.

Kaitlynn Lee, 25, was “laughing, dancing and lip-synching” while filming with a friend Saturday when she suddenly turned to look at someone knocking on her window, according to the Floyd County Sheriff’s Office.

“What are you doing here?” Lee was heard asking — before a shot rang out and she fell dead to the floor, WHAS-TV News reported.

A man out on probation for drug charges less than a year ago and a woman from Douglas were recently arrested following a search at a local apartment. On August 7, 2024, at around 1:00 PM, Detectives from the Coffee County Sheriff's Office Drug Unit were conducting a proactive narcotics patrol in Douglas. During their patrol, a detective spotted 30-year-old Christopher Lamar Hawkins, who had outstanding warrants for fleeing police and methamphetamine possession, driving a white 2021 Kia Sorento. Hawkins was stopped in front of apartment 203/204 on N Wheeler Ave, where two detectives approached him. Breanna Henderson, 33, then came out of apartment 203 to "investigate what was going on with Hawkins" and appeared to whisper with Hawkins during his arrest. The report states that Henderson, who temporarily lived with Hawkins, began whispering with him "presumably about nefarious activities due to Hawkins's previous history with drug distribution and evading law enforcement."

A disturbed Virginia tween with an interest in snuff films and animal cruelty called in more than 20 violent threats to several Florida schools in May — including one in which he said there were two bombs at an elementary school, and he’d “shoot every police officer that responded,” authorities in the Sunshine State said.

The so-called “juvenile terrorist” — who hasn’t been identified because he’s a minor — was arrested July 19 in Henrico County, Va., about two months after an alleged nine-day spree of phone calls that mostly targeted a handful of schools in Flagler County, Fla.
