MARYSVILLE PILCHUCK

‘I tried to stop him before he shot himself’

911 phone calls released By Rikki King Herald Writer

MARYSVILLE — The voice on the phone was frantic, but focused. The caller was a teacher. She was in the main cafeteria at

Marysville Pilchuck High School. A boy dressed in black had just shot students. He’d then turned the gun on himself. She’d tried to stop him. She needed help. In a two-minute conversation with 911 made public

Wednesday, teacher Megan Silberberger described for an emergency dispatcher the chaos at Marysville Pilchuck on Oct. 24. The recording, one of more than a dozen 911 calls released Wednesday, captured the fear and confusion in the minutes

after a 15-year-old student shot five friends and then himself. The recordings were released by SNOPAC 911, the dispatch center for much of Snohomish County. The shootings are still See CALLS, Page A2

EVERETT — The city is moving to seize and sell several controversial bikini espresso stands that were once a front for a lucrative prostitution operation ran by a former exotic dancer. Carmela Panico agreed to forfeit her roadside coffee huts as part of the plea agreement she struck with Snohomish County prosecutors earlier this year. Panico was busted in 2013 after Everett police and FBI agents began investigating rumors that a “dirty cop” was tipping Panico off to undercover operations targeting her stands. Darrell O’Neill, a former Snohomish County sheriff ’s sergeant, is accused of feeding Panico and her employees information in exchange for sexual favors. He resigned not long after his arrest. His trial is scheduled for February. Panico, 52, pleaded guilty in September to promoting prostitution and money laundering. She admitted that she operated drive-through brothels that made her millions. Prosecutors aren’t expected to ask for any more jail time for the coffee stand madam. In exchange, Panico agreed to surrender her claims to more than $250,000 that Everett police seized from her home. She also agreed to walk See STANDS, Page A2
