A US mother accused of tying up her family and shooting dead her teenage daughter as she called police for help has been charged with aggravated first-degree murder.

Svetlana Laurel, 52, has also been charged with first-degree attempted murder, first-degree kidnapping and unlawful imprisonment, Seattle PI reports.

The daughter Laurel allegedly shot dead has been identified as 14-year-old Natalie Gulizia.

Laurel was reportedly divorced from her husband, who was recently granted sole custody of their two children.

According to the police report, Laurel was let into her ex-husband’s home in Renton, Washington on Tuesday evening by their 12-year-old son.

According to reports, Laurel told her son she had a Christmas gift for him, but it turned out to be a bag of his old clothes.

She then asked to see his room upstairs and when he entered the room, tied him up with zip-ties.

When Laurel’s ex-husband and daughter Natalie arrived home a few hours later, the mother was holding a Taser which she pointed at her ex-husband.

Laurel allegedly shot her ex-husband with the Taser and then tied him up with zip-ties as well.

She then told her ex-husband she was going to shoot him because he had ruined her life, the police documents allege.

David Leibman from Renton Police said Natalie was gunned down as she was talking to 911 on the phone.

"The 14-year old daughter that was there, tried to call 911 to get some help and during that night the mother found out she was calling 911 and shot her,” Leibman said.

According to the police report, the 911 operator could hear the suspect saying ‘you called 911’ and then something about ‘blow your head off’ followed by what sounded like zip-ties being secured and a loud sound, followed by screaming.
