74. 3:24She said, "Stay right there."
75. 3:25All you guys. That's exactly what I did.
76. 3:28I've done that a thousand times. It's
77. 3:29never happened. Never had it happen that
78. 3:30gun.
79. 3:31I don't know what's going on and why it

102. 4:26and I'm pretty sure she's dead.
103. 4:28There was a bullet jammed There was a
104. 4:30bullet jammed in the chamber. I was
105. 4:32cleaning it out.
106. 4:34There were two that were actually
107. 4:36jammed. I cleared the first one out, and
108. 4:37when I put the second one back on, the
109. 4:39hammer re-engaged, and it didn't go off.
110. 4:43Everybody in this house is great. I got
111. 4:45a problem with my daughter. This never
112. 4:46happened.
113. 4:52>> What's that?
114. 4:52>> I don't know what I could have done
115. 4:53differently. I've done that a thousand
116. 4:54times. This never happened.
117. 4:58This jammed on me before, but it's never
118. 5:00launched two bullets.
119. 5:04Cuz before you guys got here, before I
120. 5:06started CPR, I cleared it just to make
121. 5:08sure I I was very compliant. And two of
122. 5:10the the
123. 5:12one round that was still fully intact
124. 5:13came out, and I set that next to the gun
125. 5:15with the discharged chambered round, and
126. 5:17they were both next They're both in the
127. 5:18gun.
128. 5:19And there was a silence.
129. 5:21I open up the chamber. I didn't know
130. 5:22what happened. This happened so fast. I
131. 5:23sleep with it cleared. I put it on
132. 5:24safety. I had it locked. I had it almost
133. 5:2624/7.
134. 5:27I'm not home with it.
135. 5:32She's going to take the biggest [ __ ]
136. 5:34war.
137. 5:37It won't go off cuz
138. 5:39it's because of what I saw.
139. 5:41But I'm going to go up and see what
140. 5:42she's not
141. 5:43>> And see what?
142. 5:44>> I'm going to stop saying that she's not
143. 5:46breathing cuz I'm wearing everything.
144. 5:48>> I just want
145. 5:49>> I'm
146. 5:49>> not Yeah, I'm not up there. No, I didn't
147. 5:51>> Well, from what I saw, it looked like it
148. 5:53hit her right about here.
149. 5:54>> What?
150. 5:54>> There was no exit wound, so it wasn't a
151. 5:56through and through shot.
152. 5:58I tried CPR.
153. 5:59I checked her pulse two or three
154. 6:00different times. There was no pulse.
155. 6:06Unfortunately, or fortunately, I should
156. 6:09say, I've never had anything happen
157. 6:11like this. How does that work about when
158. 6:13all of this is done and through about
159. 6:14getting my So, we're talking about my
160. 6:16firearm at this time.
161. 6:18>> Well, it's going to be a while.
162. 6:19>> I figured, cuz it's going to happen
163. 6:20>> Yeah, this is going to happen. Yeah,
164. 6:22it'll be held as evidence until
165. 6:24>> It's all good.
166. 6:25>> everything's done.
167. 6:26>> Yeah, I figured it would be something
168. 6:27along the lines of that. I just wanted
169. 6:29to know something.
170. 6:30>> Jacob questions when he can expect the
171. 6:32firearm to be returned before making a
172. 6:34request.
173. 6:36>> May I go home with my coffee this
174. 6:38evening?
175. 6:39I can show you my coffee.
176. 6:42>> Probably not.

185. 6:59arrives to question the suspect.
186. 7:03>> Howdy.
187. 7:07>> Hey, how you doing?

209. 7:35I actually
210. 7:37But I was sitting on my floor and it
211. 7:38pointed this way. I guess it was having
212. 7:40a problem getting jammed the last few
213. 7:41days, so I was continuing to have these
214. 7:43problems twice before I opened it and
215. 7:44actually fired.

217. 7:47of here twice.
218. 7:49I took everything off. I I couldn't I
219. 7:51couldn't find a problem with it. I don't
220. 7:53I've never had a problem with it doing
221. 7:54it.
222. 7:55As soon as I put the slide back on and
223. 7:57it engaged the handle of the pin, there
224. 7:59were two rounds that were stuck
225. 8:01simultaneously like this that I didn't
226. 8:02see.
227. 8:03And as soon as it did, it pushed the

252. 8:46that two other people were allegedly in
253. 8:48the room when the shooting occurred.

256. 8:54the four of them had been drinking
257. 8:56before she noticed Jacob, quote, playing
258. 8:59with his gun shortly before the fatal
259. 9:01shot was fired.

425. 13:53pro-gun attire, Jacob prepares to head
426. 13:56to the police station, but not before
427. 13:58one investigator shares some thoughts.
428. 14:01>> I have practiced it in there
429. 14:02a thousand times.
430. 14:03>> Well, yeah. I mean, you know, you're As
431. 14:05I said, you've been in Marine Corps, so
432. 14:07you know, you you should know first
433. 14:09thing about firearm safety and handling.
434. 14:11>> You you would think I would know damn
435. 14:13near everything about it, but they still
436. 14:15surprise
437. 14:15>> Did you see this?
438. 14:16>> It happened.
439. 14:16>> For photos.
440. 14:18>> That's That's what's there.
441. 14:20>> Okay.
442. 14:23Was that down here when No.
443. 14:25>> She probably
444. 14:25>> by the bed, and I grabbed it because it
445. 14:27was underneath or like my purse was on
446. 14:30top of it. So, I grabbed both of them
447. 14:32because it's my prom shoes.
448. 14:34>> Okay. All right. You got it.
449. 14:35>> Next, Jacob is escorted outside, where
450. 14:38his ride awaits.
451. 14:40>> Plus, I guess my car should be toasty
452. 14:41from sitting here for a while.
453. 14:45I wonder if they might start being
454. 14:46colder than the Polar Express itself.
455. 14:58Not Not a lot of room, so.
456. 15:00>> Like I said, grandma's cabin. Just to be
457. 15:01in the back.
458. 15:06>> Now seated in an interview room, Jacob
459. 15:08chats with an officer while waiting for
460. 15:10detectives.
461. 15:12>> I didn't know what could have been. Cuz
462. 15:14I I've never made a mistake with a
463. 15:16weapon. I was raised so heavily on gun
464. 15:18safety.
465. 15:21And what I don't understand is because
466. 15:22when I cleared it, I had it on the floor
467. 15:24and as soon as I turned it around, I
468. 15:25heard click, boom.
469. 15:28It was that simple. Hand wasn't even on
470. 15:29trigger. I had it on the side of the
471. 15:30>> Yeah.
472. 15:31>> Like
473. 15:33Never put my hand on the trigger.
474. 15:35Just in case. I just said I'm just I'm
475. 15:37I'm not even like I'm still grasping the
476. 15:41fact that she got shot. Yeah, but I'm
477. 15:43grasping the fact of how because I have
478. 15:45never unless I tried to think it
479. 15:46happened once or twice, but I have never
480. 15:48seen you know a a pistol like that
481. 15:50chamber two rounds. You know, between
482. 15:52the blood on the floor and my sheets and
483. 15:53everything, how's that going to work?
484. 15:55Like do I get to go back home? Do they
485. 15:57clean that out? How does that work?
486. 15:59>> They're probably going to
487. 16:01be processing that, I would imagine,
488. 16:03until tomorrow.
489. 16:04So.
490. 16:07Well, very likely, I don't know what it
491. 16:09would be, but you're going to catch some
492. 16:10kind of charge because some somebody
493. 16:12died.
494. 16:15>> Yeah.
495. 16:16Do you know roughly what it would be?
496. 16:18Or do you have any idea?
497. 16:19>> Yeah, I can't tell you.
498. 16:20>> I'll never forget what though. The one
499. 16:21thing that hurts worse about this case
500. 16:23is the fact that she was so young.
501. 16:25That's what hurts.
502. 16:26>> Yeah.
503. 16:26How old was she? 17?
504. 16:28>> 18. Yeah, but I'm trying to make some
505. 16:30sort of light of the situation. The uh
506. 16:33dispatcher was like, "Do you know how to
507. 16:34do CPR?" I was like, "Well, ma'am, I was
508. 16:37a lifeguard for 7 years. I would hope
509. 16:38so."
510. 16:39She was like, "Okay, do you need me to
511. 16:40count for you?" And I'm like
512. 16:42>> No.
513. 16:43>> No, I'm okay. I promise you I I have
514. 16:44more than enough extensive training on
515. 16:46how to do CPR.
516. 16:47>> Yeah.
517. 16:47>> She was like, "Okay." So, I
518. 16:49No, I was
519. 16:50>> Yeah, couldn't do anything better than
520. 16:51what you were doing, so.
521. 16:54>> Well, that's definitely something I'll
522. 16:55think about for a hot minute.
523. 16:57Yeah.
524. 16:58The fact that I'm in your guys's top
525. 17:00three worst cases.
526. 17:01>> Mine.
527. 17:02>> Always yours.
528. 17:03>> Yeah.
529. 17:03>> She was like, "Yeah, just went out the
530. 17:05uh Well, the officer that sat in there
531. 17:06with me for like 6 hours." I was like,
532. 17:08[laughter] "Well, that was that one.
533. 17:09He's in the top three worst cases."
534. 17:10Really something to be proud of. Go
535. 17:12Jake.
536. 17:12>> LA.
537. 17:13>> LA.
538. 17:14>> [laughter]
539. 17:14>> Go Jake.
540. 17:18I don't know hurts more the fact that
541. 17:20she was so young
542. 17:21when the accident happened,
543. 17:23seeing it and reliving it, or the fact
544. 17:26of how her parents are going to react.
545. 17:28And my uh
546. 17:30her her best friend made a joke and she
547. 17:32was like
548. 17:34I really don't know what to do and I'm
549. 17:35just going to use humor as a way She was
550. 17:37like, "Well,
551. 17:38at least she isn't second."
552. 17:40But she was not to drive for that [ __ ]
553. 17:41She didn't want to go to it and I was
554. 17:43like
555. 17:44That's really
556. 17:46Too soon. Too way too soon.
557. 17:49>> Yeah, that's humor you learn in basic
558. 17:51training.
559. 17:52>> [laughter]
560. 17:53>> See, as much of the bad of the situation
561. 17:55that I want to laugh just because I use
562. 17:57laughter to cure, you know, cure that
563. 17:58[ __ ] That's just what I do. Like
564. 18:01humor is my way to solve a lot of my
565. 18:02problems but I'm
566. 18:04just kind of like in this situation I
567. 18:05don't want
568. 18:07I want to because I know it'll make me
569. 18:09feel a little better. But that's the
570. 18:11kind of dark that I'm just like that's
571. 18:13not something I really want. Thank you.
572. 18:16>> Seconds after stating he doesn't want to
573. 18:18think about the incident, Jacob once
574. 18:20again rehashes his side of the story.
575. 18:23>> Cuz it's like one specific part that's
576. 18:25continuously replayed.
577. 18:26>> Mhm.
578. 18:29>> It's like the only part of which is the
579. 18:31fact that like you know,
580. 18:33as soon as I put the slide cuz like the
581. 18:34way it is you have to like pull the
582. 18:36slide back and then lock it to then, you
583. 18:39know, flip the switch back up to then
584. 18:40close it. And it was as soon as I pulled
585. 18:42it back because the way it is because it
586. 18:44likes to get stuck right before you can
587. 18:46actually lock it. So I like like threw
588. 18:48it back into it and as soon as it just
589. 18:51hit.
590. 18:52It was just enough pressure. I don't
591. 18:53understand how.
592. 18:55But I was sitting
593. 18:57kind of like this, right? And she was
594. 18:58laying on my bed. She was kind of laying
595. 19:00like if you were to lay like that it
596. 19:01would be headed towards me cuz she was
597. 19:02like laying on the side of my bed
598. 19:04watching TV. We all were.
599. 19:06Actually, we were watching Pitch
600. 19:07Perfect.
601. 19:09And um you know, I pulled my gun and I
602. 19:11on, and I like throw back into it. And
603. 19:13as soon as I did, my my my hand pushed
604. 19:16it up, and as soon as it did, it just
605. 19:17was enough to discharge it. And I I
606. 19:19immediately heard it, and I looked over
607. 19:20cuz I thought, you know, I've got my gun
608. 19:22in my bed.
609. 19:23I was like, okay.
610. 19:24Scary, terrifying, put it on the wall,
611. 19:26put it on the bed. Nobody gets hurt. I
612. 19:28would rather that happen. So, I mean,
613. 19:29it's a big deal. And then the moment I
614. 19:31look over, it's just I'm just like
615. 19:35I don't know what I'm going to do.
616. 19:36Everybody up, call the cops. That's what
617. 19:37I was thinking I did.
618. 19:39And uh
619. 19:40My friend was like, call the cops, call
620. 19:41the cops, call the cops. I'm just like,
621. 19:43I can't find my phone. I have to find my
622. 19:44phone to call the cops.
623. 19:45>> Yeah.
624. 19:46>> And uh my girlfriend, she was just like,
625. 19:48um um
626. 19:49um I was like, you you need to get out.
627. 19:52She was like, why? And I was like,
628. 19:52because this will literally traumatize
629. 19:54you. She was like, what about you? And I
630. 19:55said,
631. 19:56I've seen worse.
632. 19:57Literally, I I promise you I've seen
633. 19:59worse. This as much as it hurts to
634. 20:01as much as this is going to hurt to do,
635. 20:04I need to do this because everything
636. 20:05will fall off. I said, I I have to do
637. 20:07this because he can't, you won't, and
638. 20:09I'm not waiting for the paramedics.
639. 20:11So, it's just That's That's the part
640. 20:12that I keep playing in my head.
641. 20:15That's like the only part that has me
642. 20:17like continuously shaking my leg cuz I'm
643. 20:19like sitting here like,
644. 20:21you know, if I would have held it a
645. 20:23little straighter here, or found it on
646. 20:24the floor, or like, you know, maybe like
647. 20:26tried to like pull it down into the
648. 20:27floor or something, or, you know, if I
649. 20:29would have cleaned it like 30 minutes
650. 20:31later, or from 30 seconds, or
651. 20:33>> Yeah.
652. 20:34>> Any one in a million things.
653. 20:35>> Like if they would have gotten ready to
654. 20:37get up, and you know, nobody was in the
655. 20:39room, you know, something. Like every
656. 20:41I'm thinking of every little detail that
657. 20:42I could have, you know, could have been
658. 20:43changed.
659. 20:44>> Yeah.
660. 20:45>> You're to blame.
661. 20:47Um I just remember telling one of you
662. 20:49guys it was like, you know, like where
663. 20:50was everybody? I was like, well, I was
664. 20:52on the floor.
665. 20:53She was to be laying down on the other
666. 20:55side of the wall. She was upstairs. Like
667. 20:57I remember how she was laying. I
668. 20:58remember how her hair was. Like I
669. 20:59remember where my girlfriend was, how
670. 21:01she was standing, cuz she had literally
671. 21:02just walked back in her room.
672. 21:05I remember that after the fact.
673. 21:06>> See? She did it.
674. 21:09I swear I could like sit here for hours
675. 21:11and just be like, "What about this? What
676. 21:13about this?" You know? Cuz my buddy was
677. 21:15like, "Hey, you want to go do
678. 21:16something?" I was like, "No, no, I just
679. 21:17want to stay home." What if I would have
680. 21:18said yes, you know?
681. 21:20Or or something. Or what if I would have
682. 21:22said yes to picking her up or you know?
683. 21:25I think one thing that hurts me the most
684. 21:26was that I told her she was going to be
685. 21:27safe at my house.
686. 21:29I said, "Nothing's going to happen.
687. 21:31You're safe at my house."
688. 21:32>> Yeah.
689. 21:37That's one of those things that will
690. 21:38be stuck in your head for a bit.
691. 21:41>> I don't think I'm going to have people
692. 21:42over for Halloween.
693. 21:46>> [snorts]
694. 21:53>> Damn.
695. 21:54I might have to go back to therapy.
696. 21:58>> Very likely.
697. 21:59That's probably a good idea.
698. 22:01>> No.
699. 22:03I would say I'd go shoot some, you know,
700. 22:05targets, but that apparently is going to
701. 22:07be a minute before I lay my hands on a
702. 22:08firearm again.
703. 22:12Yeah, give me a week.
704. 22:16>> Jacob spends the next few hours speaking
705. 22:18with detectives, where according to an
706. 22:21incident report, he later dropped his
707. 22:23claim that he was cleaning the weapon
708. 22:25after detectives noted that they had not
709. 22:26observed any cleaning equipment in plain
710. 22:29sight where the incident occurred.
711. 22:31Instead, Jacob allegedly said the gun
712. 22:33simply misfired, while another witness
713. 22:36claimed he was quote messing around with
714. 22:38it by taking it apart and putting it
715. 22:40back together.
716. 22:41Next, additional officers arrived to
717. 22:43escort the suspect to jail.
718. 22:47>> All right.
719. 22:49Okay,
720. 22:50face the wall.
721. 22:52>> What's up, buddy?
722. 22:53>> Put your hands behind your back.
723. 22:56Hands behind your back.
724. 22:57>> My hands.
725. 22:58>> Put your palms together.
726. 23:00Palms together.
727. 23:01>> Can you tell me what that means please?
728. 23:03>> Yeah, I can.
729. 23:15All right, not too tight.
730. 23:21Yep, you can transport with handcuffs.
731. 23:23Cool.
732. 23:26That, not sure.
733. 23:29I know,
734. 23:31but I was not provided any information.
735. 23:32I'm just driving.
736. 23:33>> Jacob was booked for reckless homicide
737. 23:36and having a weapon while under
738. 23:37disability.
739. 23:38>> Okay, let's bounce. All right,
740. 23:41appreciate you.
741. 23:42>> Am I not allowed a phone call?
742. 23:46Am I not allowed a phone call?
743. 23:47>> we're going to do. We're going to take a
744. 23:48seat, okay? We're not going to talk the
745. 23:50whole way down, okay?
746. 23:51Take a seat for me.
747. 23:52>> So, I am allowed to the phone call?
748. 23:54>> You can get one when you get to the
749. 23:55jail.
750. 23:55>> Yes, sir.
751. 23:57>> After further investigation, the
752. 23:5918-year-old was additionally charged
753. 24:01with improperly handling firearms in a
754. 24:03motor vehicle, carrying a concealed
755. 24:05weapon, and failure to comply with
756. 24:07underage alcohol laws after prosecutors
757. 24:10alleged he had driven with a fully
758. 24:12loaded firearm earlier in the day. In an
759. 24:14unrelated turn of events, Jacob was also
760. 24:17charged with illegal use of a minor in
761. 24:19nudity-oriented material after a search
762. 24:22of his phone reportedly uncovered
763. 24:24illegal material not related to the
764. 24:26shooting victim.
765. 24:27>> Excuse me, sir, do I have one quick
766. 24:28question?
767. 24:29>> Yes.
768. 24:30>> Um the guy said that if anything were to
769. 24:32happen, I just have my two babes on me.
770. 24:33They said they would take it later.
771. 24:34>> Okay.
772. 24:35>> Um they said that before they took me,
773. 24:37um I would be able to get a list of a
774. 24:39few phone numbers from my cell phone so
775. 24:41I can call
776. 24:43call somebody. How does that work?
777. 24:44>> Where's your cell phone at?
778. 24:45>> Uh that gentleman has it in there.
779. 24:47>> Oh, then no. If it's already seized and
780. 24:49booked, we can't
781. 24:50take it out of booking.
782. 24:51>> No, [snorts] no, that's fine. Um he
783. 24:52[clears throat] said that if I left or
784. 24:54anything that I would be able to get a
785. 24:55or a cell phone like a number out of it.
786. 24:57>> Yeah, I
787. 24:58I got no way to do that, man.
788. 25:00>> Can you ask him? Cuz that was the
789. 25:01gentleman who I talked to.
790. 25:03>> We got I mean, you need to talk to who?
791. 25:05>> That gentleman that just walked out the
792. 25:07that door right before I walked out.
793. 25:08That's the man that I need to talk to
794. 25:10real quick. He was the one who said I
795. 25:12could.
796. 25:12>> Okay. I'm going to go ask, but I'm
797. 25:14assuming the answer's going to be no,
798. 25:15but it's worth a shot.
799. 25:16>> Thank you, sir.
800. 25:18>> Sounds good.
801. 25:19>> After pleading guilty to the charges,
802. 25:21court records show Jacob was sentenced
803. 25:23to more than 11 years behind bars and
804. 25:26ordered to register as a sex offender
