Mother accused of shooting sons wants to attend funeral

GRIFFIN - A 63-year-old woman accused of fatally shooting her adult sons in a Spalding County nursing home will be able to attend their funeral. <br> <br> Lawyers for Carol Carr said Wednesday that a judge has allowed her release to attend services planned tomorrow in Jonesboro. <br> <br> Carr, charged with two counts of murder, is under suicide watch at the Spalding County Jail. Police said she shot her sons -- 42-year-old Michael Randy Scott and 41-year-old Andy Byron Scott, 41 -- as they lay in bed Saturday night at SunBridge Care and Rehabilitation in Griffin. She then walked to the lobby and waited for police. <br> <br> Family members said Carr was trying to end their suffering brought on by Huntington&#39;s disease, which slowly cripples the brain and the body. <br> <br> The men&#39;s father, Hoyt Scott, also suffered from the hereditary, degenerative nerve disorder. He died in 1995 after spending 12 years in a nursing home.
