SALT LAKE CITY — Officers arrested a Salt Lake woman Saturday after she allegedly called police and said she had shot a woman she lived with.

Sue Mary Hickman, 53, was booked into jail for investigation of murder.

Salt Lake police were called to a home at 573 N. Wall St. in the Capitol Hill neighborhood about 3:40 p.m. to check on the condition of Rose Harris, a woman who lived there. Hickman was the person who placed that call and she asked a dispatcher for a "welfare check of her partner," according to a Salt Lake County Jail report.

"When the dispatcher asked (Hickman) why she was requesting a welfare check, (Hickman) replied, 'I shot her. I did it, she made me snap. I couldn't take it any more, her drinking,'" the report states.

When police arrived, they discovered Harris, 54, dead inside the home.

Investigators say Hickman talked about her alleged involvement in the shooting with five different people and two police officers, according to the report.

Police on Saturday said they were interviewing several witnesses.
