1 dispatcher fired, another resigns after mishandling of triple-homicide 911 call

Deborah Watson spent the final moments of her life begging for help as she watched her two friends be shot to death and described the terrifying scene to a 911 dispatcher.

"My friend just got shot," Watson told the since-fired Orange County dispatcher Tamela Moses about 9:40 p.m. on March 17 before giving her the address of the incident. "We're homeless, it's a camp. It's a barn actually. Please hurry up."

Although the 911 call was not released, deputies say the sound of a deadly gun shots could be heard on the recording as Watson, Richard Button and Todd Lemme were each shot in the head by Watson's abusive ex-boyfriend Leonard Lewis.

Minutes after the shooting a separate 911 caller told dispatcher Porscha Williams that she could hear deputies searching for someone behind her home and she suggested deputies check the barn for the victims.

1. "It's coffee time. Call back later."

As soon as the dispatcher learned it was homeless people the call lost all importance.

2. And it's apparent from the article that the main concern was for the

responding officers who were not fully warned about what they would be facing.
