A 47-year-old former news anchor allegedly stabbed her 80-year-old mother to death in a Kansas home and called cops to say she killed the victim in self-defense.

Angelynn Mock faces a first-degree murder charge in the death of Anita Avers in Wichita, police said in a press release. Cops responded shortly before 8 a.m. Friday to a home in the 1500 block of East Crowley. Mock was standing outside the home when officers arrived. When they went inside, they found Avers unresponsive in her bed with "multiple stab wounds." She was taken to the hospital where doctors pronounced her dead.

Police arrested Mock and took her to the hospital. She's now at the Sedgwick County Jail on a $1 million bond.

Local ABC affiliate KAKE obtained audio from 911 dispatchers that said Mock claimed self-defense.
