Without hesitation, Karen Zdunko took the stand Thursday and clearly identified Emerson Tohafjian as the man who opened fire on her and two loved ones.

"Did anyone else enter the apartment after you? Who?” asked Seneca County District Attorney Barry Porsch. 

Pointing at Tohafjian, Zdunko said, “It was that [expletive] right there.”  

Zdunko lost her dear friend Lori McConnell and her longtime boyfriend Chuck Andrus on that July night. Her testimony drew plenty of emotion inside the courtroom.

She testified that Tohafjian shot her while trying to get around her. After firing, he allegedly apologized then went on to shoot Andrus and McConnell. According to Zdunko, McConnell fell back onto the loveseat and Tohafjian unloaded his gun on her.

Prior to her testimony, a medical examiner detailed the nature of the crime and revealed that McConnell was shot 12 times.

During cross examination, Zdunko showed pushback by the defense as they focused on drinking, confirming that the witness had at least six drinks on the night of the shootings.

Her testimony wrapped by recounting the final moments after bullets were fired.

“He just smiled at me and left,” said Zdunko.

That’s when she called 911 then watched McConnell take her last breath.
