Baskets actor Hagen Mills died earlier this week in an attempted murder-suicide and now more details have been revealed about the gruesome scene.
Mills allegedly attempted to murder his ex-girlfriend Erica Price, but she wasn’t actually dead when he turned the gun on himself and committed suicide. Price‘s mom, Tammy Green-Price, was in the house at the time of the incident and she’s opening up about what happened.
Tammy says that she was watching the former couple’s four-year-old daughter Mila when Hagen forced his way into the Kentucky home. He reportedly tied Tammy up with duct tape and waited for Erica to arrive home. When she did, Hagen begged her to take him back, but then he fired two shots at her.
“She ran round the corner to try to hide but collapsed. There was blood everywhere,” Tammy told DailyMail.com. “I thought I was next. But the baby was behind me and my only real thought was to shield her. I somehow managed to nudge her down on the couch then closed my eyes and prepared to die. I heard the gun go off, I heard his body hitting the floor and I finally opened my eyes and realized I was alive.”
Tammy dragged herself to a bedroom and called 911. She was rushed to the hospital and is thankfully expected to recover after taking gunshots to the right arm and chest.
“I think he believed she was dead, as soon as she hit the floor he shot himself,” Tammy said. “This man was obviously a very troubled soul. I would love to talk about what an awful person he is, but there’s no point in that. The important thing is that my daughter is going to be ok. She’s stable but in isolation because of COVID. She’s a beautiful person, she’s a very giving, kind soul. She has never bothered anybody.”
We’re wishing Erica a speedy recovery.
