The girlfriend of a Montana man charged with killing a German exchange student in his garage held her face in her hands on the witness stand Friday as the court listened to the emergency call she made the night of the shooting.
During the call, Janelle Pflager said 17-year-old Diren Dede was bleeding from "everywhere" and lying face down "barely breathing" after Markus Kaarma shot him. She said Kaarma didn't help her as she tried to aid the mortally wounded Dede. He died a short time later at a Missoula hospital.
Pflager's testimony came during the second day of Kaarma's deliberate homicide trial.
Prosecutors allege Kaarma baited the victim into sneaking into his garage early April 27 and killed him with four shotgun blasts after being alerted by a motion detector. He says he fired the shots out of fear that his family and property might be harmed following previous burglaries at his home.
Pflager testified a day earlier that she bought a baseball bat for safety and set up multiple motion detectors fearing the burglars would return. She said Kaarma brought a shotgun upstairs from the basement, loaded it and kept it in the dining room.
Pflager said she planned to use it to hold intruders at bay and said she thought that was Kaarma's thinking about the gun.

Deputy County Attorney Jennifer Clark said Kaarma gave no warning before firing into the darkened garage and paused between the third and fourth shots.
Testimony indicated Kaarma had been on edge at the time and had exhibited some erratic behavior.
Michael McMillan, who works for a local lawn care company, came to the Kaarma house April 23 to spray for insects. While he was setting up, he said an angry Kaarma come out the front door naked, pointed a shotgun at him and asked what McMillan was doing there.
"I was scared, frozen," McMillan said.
He said Pflager started screaming at Kaarma to stop and he went back inside the house. McMillan said Pflager apologized and told him hadn't gotten much sleep due to burglaries. McMillan said he did not call police.
That same day, Kaarma went for a haircut, and three women from the shop testified Thursday that they heard him say he had been waiting up nights to shoot an intruder.
Defense attorney Paul Ryan said Montana's "stand-your-ground" law allows homeowners to protect their residences with deadly force when they believe they are going to be harmed.
Kaarma didn't know whether the person inside the garage was armed, Ryan said. He said Kaarma felt targeted and increasingly anxious for the safety of Pflager and their infant son after the first burglaries.
