“This is the end,” the channel reported he told his girlfriend several times, citing the documents.
The suspect allegedly thought “that he needed to return to his camp immediately,” with his girlfriend,according toTheSeattleTimes.
The suspect allegedly began firing into the campground – several hundred yards from the concert – last Saturday shortly before 8:30 p.m., authorities have said. Struck and killed wereBrandy Escamilla and Josilyn Ruiz, an engaged couple from Seattle who were planning to attend the concert.
“The shooter continued to shoot randomly into the crowd,” Kyle Foreman, of the Grant County Sheriff’s Office, said in avideo press conferenceposted to Facebook within hours of the June 17 shooting.
The suspect then allegedly struck another man – Andrew J. Caudra, 31, of Eugene, Ore. – in the shoulder, prompting the suspect’s girlfriend, Lily A. Luksich, 20, to call 911, saying her boyfriend had a gun,The Seattle Timesreported.
The suspect allegedly continued shooting into the crowd, his girlfriend beside him. Lori Williams, 61, was working in crowd management and responded to the report of shots fired, law enforcement says. The suspect allegedly turned the gun on Williams, firing at her “multiple times” Captain Brian Chance of the Wenatchee Police Department said in a press statement. A bullet pierced her windshield, striking her in the right side of her face, shattering her glasses and causing bruising and lacerations. Williams was treated and released at the scene, Chance said.
By the time officers had tracked the suspect and his girlfriend to an agricultural field near the campground, the suspect had allegedly turned the gun on Luksich, hitting her twice in the lower body, law enforcement said.
At the field, Moses Lake Police Department Detective Edgar Salazar, 35, formerly of the Marine Corps., shot the suspect once, injuring him. Officers swarmed the area, separating the suspect from Luksich, who was taken to the hospital, treated for her wounds and released. After the suspect was treated for his injuries, he was discharged and booked into Grant County Jail, where he is being held without bail.
It was not immediately clear if he has entered a plea.
