Dickson Co. mother of 5 shot, killed by brother, sheriff's office says

WKRN News 2 brings the voices of Kayla Winkles' partner and best friend into its report on the fatal shooting in White Bluff, Tennessee. They remember a mother of five who was studying to become a dental hygienist.

The Dickson County Sheriff's Office says Winkles was shot and killed by her brother after an argument. Capt. Jennifer Carruthers says the suspect retrieved a weapon as the argument escalated. The report says he has been charged with first-degree murder; investigators are still looking into what triggered the argument.

Winkles' partner, Paris Triggs, speaks about losing the person he describes as the love of his life. Her best friend, Savannah Carr, recalls their close bond and Winkles' sense of purpose as a mother.

The report reached about 93,000 views in its first day, far beyond the channel's usual start of fewer than 600 views for a Short.

Carr's remembrance centers on what she wants Winkles' children to know: "I want to make sure that they know that their mother loved them above any and everything."
