The shooter, 54-year-old Theodore Paul Wafer, called 911 to report that he shot someone he didn't recognize. She was later identified as McBride.
"Just received a 911 call from a male [who] thinks he just shot someone on his porch … Then he hung up; we're trying to call back," the dispatcher says. She then confirms that officers are responding to the crime scene and that police have a male suspect on the phone.
Wafer has been charged with second-degree murder.
