Aaron Ybarra, who was sentenced to 112 years in prison, named each of the victims of his June 2014 shooting at Seattle Pacific University, including the freshman who was killed, the young woman who was gravely injured, and the three students who managed to flee.
After a month-long trial, Ybarra was found guilty of premeditated first-degree murder, three charges of attempted first-degree murder, and one act of second-degree assault in November.
Ybarra’s rage at the world caused him to go off his meds, survey the school, and return with a 12-gauge shotgun on the second-to-last day of classes, intent on killing as many people as he could, jurors heard during his trial last autumn followed by the shooted year.
Due to his lunacy, he had pled not guilty.
Freshman Paul Lee, 19, was tragically shot outside Otto Miller Hall, and 22-year-old Sarah Williams, who testified at Ybarra’s trial, was seriously wounded as she ascended a staircase inside by a shotgun blast to the chest. Shotgun pellets injured a third student.
According to seattletimes.com, Jon Meis, a school safety monitor, tackled and disarmed Ybarra by spraying him with pepper spray. Two other students assisted Williams with first aid, while another raced into classes to warn others.
