Son charged with shooting mother on southside

The Muncie man who called 911 to report his girlfriend shot his mother Thursday morning has been charged with firing the shotgun. The Sheriff’s department says 42-year-old Richard Franks took meth in the hours before 73-year-old Bonnie Lou Franks was killed in her home on the southside of Muncie about 4:30 a.m. Thursday. Detectives say the man later admitted to killing his mother.
