Allen Ivanov told police he killed three people all due to jealousy over his broken romance with his ‘dream girl,’ court papers released on Monday reveal.

Anna Bui was ‘the first girl he ever kissed,’ he said.

The papers confirm that Ivanov, who is accused of killing three people at a midnight party in a million dollar home in affluent Mukilteo, Washington, was besotted with Bui, one of the three former students at Kamiak High School who were killed early on Saturday morning.

‘He said that he thought he needed some time to work on himself.

Ivanov appeared via video at a brief probable cause hearing in Superior Court in Everett on Monday. Looking haggard and wearing a green striped prison-issue top and green pants he said only one word ‘yes’ when told he must have no contact with the families of any of the four people he is alleged to have shot. Defense attorney Tim Leary made no application for bail after prosecutor Adam Cornell said the victims’ families did not wish to see him released

Ivanov, who court papers describe as 6 ft. 1in. and 140 lb., was charged with one count of aggravated murder, two of first degree murder and one of attempted first degree murder. ‘He said that after they broke up, he kept getting snaps from A.B. on Snapchat that he described as “hurtful.” He said that the “snaps” were photos of a drunk A.B. with a variety of girls. ‘He said the “snaps” did not show A.B. naked, but it showed that she was getting on with her life without him, which made him jealous.’

Ivanov and Bui, both 19, had dated for around 18 months, he told Ernst. After they broke up he realized he had made a mistake and wanted to get back with her. They were both due to start their sophomore year at the University of Washington at Bothell this month.

‘He said that in the past week he and A.B. had started to spend some time together. He thought things were going well and there was the potential that they were going to get back together. He said that during this time, he heard from people that A.B. was seeing other guys while the two of them were talking which made him angry.

Ivanov said he had bought the Ruger A-15 semi-automatic rifle about a week before the shootings. The papers do not say where he purchased the weapon.

‘He stated that it was his intention to use it for target practice, and he even scheduled a gun safety class that was going to start in early August,’ Ernst wrote in his report.

‘He admitted that to him, the rifle was a symbol of power.’

The day before the party, Bui had been out of town and Ivanov said he put the rifle in the trunk of his car, went to a quiet spot ‘and just sat.’

The following day he went to the Apple Store in Alderwood, where he worked on the Genius Bar but left early because he was not feeling well.

‘He said that he went to the Cabela’s in Marysville in order to buy a second magazine for the rifle. He stated that he would need two magazines for the class.

He turned up at the party house around 10 pm, parked and watched what was going on. ‘He said that he creeped up toward the house and saw [Anna] with another male and got angry.

‘He said that he returned to his car, read the instruction manual for the rifle, loaded the magazine, [laced the magazine in the rifle, and set the firle’s selector switch to “safe.”’

He then returned to the house creeping round the back and hiding near the living room windows.

‘Ivanov stated that while he was in his hiding place he was discovered by a male partygoer. The male said “No, no, no.” Ivanov stated that he was “scared,” he flipped the selector switch to fire and shot the male.

‘He stated that at that point it was too late to turn back and once he pulled the trigger the adrenaline kicked in.’

He went into the house, owned by fisherman Karl Bratvold, who was out of town for the weekend, found his girlfriend and shot her twice.

‘As he continued through the house, he saw through the front door another male running toward the house. He said that he shot that male.’

He then went up to the balcony and fired down at two more men in the driveway before going to the roof where he realized his magazine was empty.

‘He returned to his car and drove away,’ Ernst wrote.

Ernst said that a witness in Kentucky had spoken to cops saying that Ivanov had sent him text messages in the week before the shooting, saying he was going to commit a mass shooting.

I’m a high school student, I’m at that school to learn, not to be scared of being fucking shot up. My group of friends, just about all guys, who make edgy jokes and memes, almost all hugged me today. One of them, who I don’t even really get along with, said “I hope this never happens here, and i hope we never experience this.” We hugged each other, because we were thankful just to see each other, even if we didn’t like each other. My friend and I saw these tweets and live streams of this happening and girl and boys crying as they passed the dead bodies of their colleagues, friends and family.

I had a long and lengthy conversation with my friends, about what to do in case a school shooting happened, in fact, my friends were saying, “If this ever happens, get off campus, and get to the chick fil a nearest to our school” so we could do a head count and make sure everyone is okay. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO TALK ABOUT THIS WITH MY FRIENDS The fact that my friends, whom I go to the park, and have picnics with and go to the beach with, and have fun with, have to discuss this, and the fact that my school may have do an active shooter situation drill is depressing. The fact that there have been almost TWENTY shootings at schools and it’s only February is sad. 3 a week.

Someone was carrying a bunch of our huge Chemistry textbooks and dropped them in the hall in my second period and everyone in my Web Design class stiffened up. I grabbed my friend’s hand and we were sitting right next to each other, nervous, until we heard a loud shout of “DAMN IT, I SHOULDN’T HAVE CARRIED THAT MANY TEXTBOOKS” The fact that textbooks dropping make us nervous.The fact that the hunter/fisher/athletes that act like badasses all the time got nervous.The fact that a guy who vapes behind the school, got sent to juvie for having weed, tensed up and pulled his pocketknife out of his boot, just in case, to feel the slightest bit safe scares me.

On May 1, 1947, Evelyn McHale leapt to her death from the observation deck of the Empire State Building. Photographer Robert Wiles took a photo of McHale a few minutes after her death. It has become an iconic suicide photograph, referred to as “the most beautiful suicide”.

The photo ran a couple of weeks later in Life magazine accompanied by the following caption:

On May Day, just after leaving her fiancé, 23-year-old Evelyn McHale wrote a note. ‘He is much better off without me … I wouldn’t make a good wife for anybody,’ … Then she crossed it out. She went to the observation platform of the Empire State Building. Through the mist she gazed at the street, 86 floors below. Then she jumped. In her desperate determination she leaped clear of the setbacks and hit a United Nations limousine parked at the curb. Across the street photography student Robert Wiles heard an explosive crash. Just four minutes after Evelyn McHale’s death Wiles got this picture of death’s violence and its composure.

Here’s her suicide note:

“I don’t want anyone in or out of my family to see any part of me. Could you destroy my body by cremation? I beg of you and my family – don’t have any service for me or remembrance for me. My fiance asked me to marry him in June. I don’t think I would make a good wife for anybody. He is much better off without me. Tell my father, I have too many of my mother tendencies. ”

The interrogation of Kip Kinkel on May 21, 1998. I compiled the parts where he talks about his motive to murder his parents (William Kinkel and Faith Zuranski), his relationship to them and what he was feeling when he killed them. For a better understanding of this, he killed his father first, not in a fight, after the fight, when his father was in the kitchen drinking something. When his mother came home, he killed her too. The next day, he shot up his high school.

- Detective: Okay….So was your dad…Did he hit you or anything like that? Kip Kinkel: No. Detective: Okay…Was he yelling or out of control or? Kip Kinkel: I couldn’t, I couldn’t, I had no other choice. God.

- Kip Kinkel: I loved my dad that’s why I had to Detective: You love him, so that’s why you had to kill him? Kip Kinkel: Yes.

- Kip Kinkel: Oh my God, my parents were good people, I’m just so fucked up in the head, I don’t know why.

- Detective: Do you say anything to her?  Kip Kinkel: Yes, I told her I loved her. Detective: And then you shot her.  Kip Kinkel: Yes. God damn it, these voices inside my head.

- Kip Kinkel: She was still alive and I said that I loved her and I shot her…I shot her again, so she wouldn’t know that I killed her. I loved my mom.

- Detective: Now you shot your mom to save her the embarrassment and that sort of stuff, right? Kip Kinkel: Yes. Detective: Okay. Was that the right thing or the wrong thing to do? Kip Kinkel: I couldn’t do anything else.

AOKIGAHARA (SUICIDE FOREST) 

The Aokigahara Forest is the most popular site for suicides in Japan. After the novel Kuroi Jukai was published, in which a young lover commits suicide in the forest, people started taking their own lives there at a rate of 50 to 100 deaths a year. The site holds so many bodies that the Yakuza pays homeless people to sneak into the forest and rob the corpses.
