By KTVA Web Staff: Charges: 911 caller told APD dispatcher he would ‘blow her head off’
Shooshanian has had a history of calling 911 and making threats to APD, according to the charging document. Efforts by police to call him back or find him Thursday failed.

Court records show that Shooshanian pleaded guilty to a 2010 felony assault in Anchorage. He also pleaded no contest to separate charges of carrying a concealed weapon and resisting an officer during an assault arrest in 1992 and 1995 respectively.

The warrant on which Shooshanian was arrested specified an initial bail of $2,500. If he is released on bail after being taken into custody, it also requires that he “not contact law enforcement dispatch unless there is a valid emergency.”

“Everybody is looking to find out what happened in the last moments of their loved ones’ lives,” Cross said, “and they deserve that closure. And the people who died deserve justice as well. It doesn’t matter what they were involved in.”

You can call Crime Stoppers locally at 561-STOP to remain anonymous, or call Anchorage police at 311 to submit a tip.
