NOCONA, Texas (AP) — A former nurse suspected of killing four patients was accused Monday of killing six more people and injuring a disabled man in her care.

Vickie Dawn Carson Jackson was indicted on three counts of capital murder, one count of attempted murder and one count of injury to a disabled person.

Under Texas law, a defendant can be charged with capital murder if two or more people are killed during a crime. In the new indictment, Jackson is accused of killing two people on each of three occasions in 2000-01.
