The shooting was reported to authorities around 8:25 p.m. Jail records Tuesday did not list an attorney for Kelly, and probable cause statements describing the accusations against him were not available. Kriete listed Kelly’s residence as Joint Base Lewis-McChord, a military installation near Tacoma. Kelly is being held on suspicion of first-degree murder, first-degree assault and first-degree domestic violence, the sheriff said. Three other people were injured, including two who were shot, and a security officer who was struck by a deflected bullet, the sheriff said. Killed were Brandy Escamila, 29, and Josilyn Ruiz, 26, both of Seattle, Kriete said. Kelly, 26, is accused of opening fire at campgrounds several hundred yards from the concert venue, which was hosting the two-day Beyond Wonderland electronic music festival, authorities said. Kelly, who was taken into custody shortly after Saturday evening’s shooting near Washington’s Gorge Amphitheatre, was treated at a hospital for a gunshot wound before he was taken to Grant County Jail, Sheriff Joe Kriete said Tuesday in a Facebook post. A man accused of killing two people and wounding several others over the weekend in a shooting near a music festival in Washington state is being held on suspicion of murder and other crimes, police said Tuesday night.
