Mukilteo Police Detective John Ernst said that Ivanov was watching Bui on Saturday through a window during a house party before the shooting. An attendee approached him and confrontation began.

“The male said, ‘No, no no,’” Detective Ernst wrote. “Ivanov stated that he was ‘scared,’ he flipped the selector switch to fire and shot the male. [Ivanov] stated that at that point it was too late to turn back, and once he had pulled the trigger his adrenaline kicked in.”
