On June 5, 2014, then-27-year-old Aaron Ybarra of Mountlake Terrace, Washington, opened fire at Seattle Pacific University, killing one person. Ybarra had intentionally gone off of his medication in order to feel his anger at the world. He had scouted the Seattle Pacific University campus, and then returned with a 12-gauge shotgun on the second-to-last day of classes, intent on killing as many people as possible.
Freshman Paul Lee, 19, was fatally shot outside Otto Miller Hall, and then-22-year-old Sarah Williams was critically wounded by a shotgun blast to her chest as she descended a staircase inside. Ybarra had attempted to shoot another female student, but his shotgun misfired and the student ran away. Ybarra was disarmed by Jon Meis, a school safety monitor who confronted Ybarra with pepper spray and tackled him to the ground. A third student, Thomas Fowler, was injured by shotgun pellets during the shooting.
Ybarra was ultimately convicted of premeditated first-degree murder, three counts of attempted first-degree murder and one count of second-degree assault after a trial that lasted approximately one month.
In this exclusive interrogation footage, Ybarra is heard discussing his obsession with with school shootings and admiration of Eric Harris, one of two students responsible for the mass shooting and attempted bombing at Columbine High School in Columbine, Colorado in 1999. On November 16, 2016, Ybarra was sentenced to 112 years in prison.
The first of many additional interviews associated with this investigation is available now on Patreon, with more to follow. Today’s interview is with Joel Ybarra, Aaron’s brother. Listen as Joel reveals that Aaron had told him that he had been hearing the voice of Eric Harris urging him to shoot up a school. Joel describes his frustration with media coverage of the case, talks about their upbringing, and speaks of a call he had with Joel shortly before the tragedy at Seattle Pacific University. Joel reveals only a portion of that call, and then keeps the remainder secret by insisting that nothing else had been discussed — despite having stated only moments before that there had been more to the call. It’s tragic. It’s sad. And it’s fascinating to hear.

Poor babies nose is running
I am sorry a bit lost here… Who is he? I saw the time stamp of 2014. It says school shooter. Which event are they talking about?
1:11:59 I am dying to know who said "Alright, security got the scumbag"?
Wow I grew up in make shity crazy
Well luckily he was to stupid to get a automatic weapon. Sure hope this sick dude got death sentence.
When I first listened to the audio, I was expecting this individual to be 16ish. At 26 years old, why didn’t his parents get him some mandatory mental health treatment or Brady Act him if he didn’t want to comply. Although this guy is responsible for his actions, but his parents didn’t do him any favors either.
Wow, this guy really just wants someone, anyone, to say he’s cool
His parents are hugely at fault – he says he goes on rants about killing people – and they leave his possessions in his room unchecked for weeks and left him with ownership of a shotgun.
Idolizes a psychopathic 16 year old virgin as a 26 year old man…. Lahooozaher!
This is why the death penalty is not a deterant. He wants to die – not spend 60 years in solitary on suicide watch.
Can we hear a "HELL YEAH!" for the bad ass school employee Jon Meis who pepper strayed and tackled him bare handed.
wow them cops 🽠are so cool 😂 😂 😂
"I'm gonna kill as many ppl as possible, think I'll use bird shot." smh
did he get pepper sprayed or something
why did they just not let him kill himself? now he gets a trial and lives in a prison at tax payers expense and the victims have to suffer through a trial.
The detective in the yellow shirt did an amazing job in coming over friendly and kind, he got all the answers he needed with that approach.
Lots of excuses from this psychopath. He would have gotten better treatment in the early 1900s..
In the UK we have our freaks but they find it virtually impossible to get hold of guns. In the US it is so easy for people to get hold of guns including the freaks.
Poor baby's eyes hurt…I hope they BLEED and then plop out of his head.
He killed 1 person with a 12 gauge. This guy wanted to be a somebody so much, and failed his fellow limpdick school shooter buddies miserably. Shotgun shoulda misfired and taken his head off
being a sadist is not the same as being a Satanist
