Ivanov Pleads Guilty In Mukilteo Party Mass Shooting

The man accused of shooting and killing three people at a Mukilteo party in July pleaded guilty today. The guilty plea comes one day before a Snohomish County prosecutor was to decide whether to pursue the death penalty against accused killer Allen Ivanov.

Ivanov, 19, pleaded guilty to three counts of aggravated first-degree murder, attempted first-degree murder, and first-degree assault on Monday. Ivanov's ex-girlfriend, Anna Bui, died during the mass shooting, as well as Jacob Long and Jordan Ebner, both 19. Will Kramer, 18, survived the attack, but was shot in the back.

Ivanov is facing life in prison. He had initially pleaded not guilty to charges in August. The shooting took place on July 30 at what was apparently a gathering for old friends from high school.
