Use a ruler to try to draw out a map of our house. Meanwhile, there's still no SWAT at our home. And I'm sleeping. My younger brother and I fall asleep at 530. I must hear a noise. I'm going to guess it was a gunshot that woke me up because my mom was shot in the arm. Hmm.

I don't know that it's her arm because when I finally get upstairs, I try to go into now my bedroom and I can hear my mom on the other side of the door. And she said, why do you have to shoot me? You already shot me in the arm. And I'm thinking she thought I'm just genuinely realizing this right now. I'm thinking she thought it was maybe a police officer on the other side of the door.

Sorry, I just realized that. So, yeah. And so I get scared by hearing that and I run into my parents' room. And the whole time my little brother stays with me. And I get up on the bed and I go to call for help. I call the emergency number again. And I ask them for three ambulance because I don't know where my brother is. Right. You still haven't found him.

Yeah. And then... I call another time, a 911 dispatcher hangs up on me. We don't know why, but they hang up on me. And I realize I look over and I see my dad. And when I tell you, it was like, oh my gosh, he's going to help us. Like, why isn't he helping us? So I tried to wake him up, but I didn't know at the time he was dead already at that time. Mm-hmm.

My younger brother came around the side of the bed and he saw my dad. I didn't, but I could tell by his reaction that something was wrong. So I just left my dad. It's almost like I just moved away from him. And I didn't touch him again after that. I just left him alone. And it's just after 6 o'clock, between 6 and 6.30, that my mom tries to leave my bedroom. And she shot one more time.

And she shot one more time.

She shot in the shoulder, but because of the type of weapon it is, the bullet spirals. And so it severed her spinal cord. And she died right in front of myself and my younger brother. He stayed in my bedroom. And then I heard a noise. And I had, I mean, it's classic 90s. I had a wicker shelf. I thought he knocked it over. And I remember getting so mad in my head, like he knocked over my shelf.

He's breaking my stuff. And it wasn't. It was the sound of the gun. He turned it on himself and he committed suicide on my bed. childhood bedroom floor. And we don't know that. So we stay in my parents' room. And eventually my mom's alarm goes off at seven because she would have been getting us ready for school. Yeah.

And I take the phone off the hook at that point because it's like an alarm and phone all in one. And I'm worried that he's going to come into the room and Eventually, my younger brother and I move onto the floor and we're on the opposite side of the bed. So we're trying to hide there so that if he does get up, he can't see us. And so we continue to wait and wait. And it's not until after 7 a.m.

that the SWAT team shows up outside. And there's a big gap, obviously, when we're waiting for help after my parents die, where we're sitting and waiting.

And when they came in, they just yelled out, this one's gone, this one's gone. Well, first they, you know, the usual RCMP, whatever they might say, like weapons down.
