KELSO, Wash. (AP) — A Longview man who admitted killing his ex-girlfriend’s mother and wounding her father pleaded guilty to murder and attempted murder.
Twenty-one-year-old Anthony Michael James Scott faces more than 40 years in prison when he is sentenced March 3 in Cowlitz County Superior Court.
He shot Kathleen and Robert Tubbs in October of 2008. The Daily News of Longview reports that with Wednesday’s plea Scott avoided a possible life sentence that would have gone with a conviction on an aggravated murder charge.
After the shooting, Scott left his ex-girlfriend a voicemail saying, “Hope you like the gift.”
