KSL, the local NBC affiliate news channel reports that Buk was part of a group of uninvited people. Additionally, the jail booking affidavit says, “Multiple people who were not invited came to the party and were causing problems.”
Meaww reports that about half an hour past midnight, Buk met someone at the party, said something to him, and then took a handgun from the other person’s bag. After walking down the driveway and across the street, reports say that he fired “two or three shots at Lowe and a 20-year-old woman whom Lowe was with.” Shockingly, Buk didn’t stop there, he walked up to Lowe and the woman and shot them several more times.
