(MSNBC)A 74-year-old woman has been charged with murder after allegedly shooting her grandson in the chest eight times as he called 911.

Jonathan Hoffman, 17, was shot Friday evening at the family’s condo in West Bloomfield Township, an upscale Detroit suburb, police said. His grandmother, Sandra Layne, a retired teacher, was charged with open murder and is being held without bond.

During Layne’s arraignment Monday, a police detective testified that Hoffman frantically told a 911 dispatcher he had been shot in the chest by his grandmother and that he was going to die.
