RINGGOLD, Ga. (AP) A Tennessee woman is charged with murder after authorities say she gunned down a northwest Georgia woman because she wanted the mother's newborn baby. <br />
<br />
Catoosa County Sheriff Gary Sisk said Catherine Goins lured the mom, Natalia Roberts, to a Ringgold home by saying she wanted to give the new mother some baby clothes. <br />
<br />
Sisk said in a statement Wednesday that Goins then used a .380-caliber handgun to shoot Roberts in the back of her head as she went down a flight of stairs on Sept. 19. <br />
<br />
The sheriff said Goins had been "living a ruse" that she was pregnant, and killed Roberts to get her baby. <br />
<br />
Sisk said Goins was apprehended Tuesday in Marion County, Tennessee by local deputies and U.S. Marshals.
