SEATTLE (AP) – Young people attending a house party in Washington state where a gunman opened fire last month frantically told a dispatcher that their friends were bleeding to death, according to newly released tapes of the calls.
Snohomish County authorities released the 911 calls Tuesday that were received after three people were fatally shot at a party July 30 in Mukilteo north of Seattle. Prosecutors have filed three aggravated first-degree murder against 19-year-old Allen Ivanov in the fatal shooting of his ex-girlfriend and two young men.
Police say Ivanov admitted that he committed the shootings at a home. They say he was upset that his ex-girlfriend, Anna Bui, appeared to be moving on with her life after their recent breakup.
In addition to Bui, of Everett, Jordan Ebner, of Lake Stevens, and Jacob Long, of Everett, were killed. They were all 19 and recent graduates of Kamiak High School in Mukilteo, a waterfront city of 21,000 people. A fourth person, 18-year-old Will Kramer, was wounded.
Some of the people at the party were not immediately clear about what happened.
