Mom Kills Daughter, 17, Botches Suicide Bid

"OVIEDO, FL — An Oviedo mother shot her 17-year-old daughter Monday, then turned the gun on herself, police said.

"Chetana Guduru, an International Baccalaureate student at Seminole High School in Sanford, died about 9:30 a.m. at Orlando Regional Medical Center.

"Her mother, Sujatha Guduru, 44, was in stable condition at the same hospital late Monday. Prosecutors had not decided what, if any, charges to file against her, Oviedo police Lt. Mike Beavers said.

"Sujatha Guduru emailed her brother about 5:45 a.m. to say she planned to hurt herself and her daughter, Beavers said. He did not read the email immediately, but he went to his sister's house on 560 Farminghan Court in the Waverlee Woods community after seeing it.

"The brother found his niece on the bed in the master bedroom and his sister on the floor, Beavers said. He called 911 about 7:20 a.m. He also moved Chetana to the floor and performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation on her.

"Chetana's grandmother also lives in the house, but she apparently was asleep and doesn't know what happened, Beavers said. She doesn't speak English, and police were trying to find an interpreter, he said.

"In the email to her brother, Sujatha Guduru left a makeshift will instructing him on what to do with her money, Beavers said. She did not say why she wanted to hurt herself or her daughter."
