'I wanted to kill her, I didn't mean it,' Trevor Pardy told RNC negotiator

Police officers who responded after the shooting of Triffie Wadmanin St. John'sin 2011 were back on the witness stand Wednesday, describing the behavior and eventual arrest of Trevor Pardy, the man charged with her first-degree murder.

Pardy, 38, is accused of shooting his ex-girlfriendWadman, 30, after an argument on Boggy Hill Place.

Royal Newfoundland Constabulary Const. Steven Traverse told the Newfoundland and LabradorSupreme Court jury that when he arrived on the street, he saw a man with a gunand a woman on the pavement, motionless, with blood on her shirt.

Traverse described Pardy as upset, yelling, saying police "didn't understand," and refusingto put down the gun.

Sgt. Alexandra Harvey, a certified crisis negotiator who was called to the scene,became the negotiator who dealtwith Pardy.

She testifiedit was her first face-to-face negotiation with a person carrying a firearmand that she had her own gun drawn for awhile, but put it away.

Harvey said Pardy told her he was suicidal.He refused to give up his gun because he said, "It was the only power he had."

She said Pardy was sometimesagitated and crying, at other times calm. She testified that Pardy told her Wadman had assaulted him in the past, but he never went to police andthat the two had broken off their relationship.

Harvey said Pardy told officers he had things on his cell phone that would hurt him, a reference to test messages he had sent to a cousin.

"I wanted to kill her, but I didn't mean it,"Harvey testified she heard Pardy say.

"He said, 'If I intended to kill her, I would have shot her in the head.It was an accident.'"

Harvey said Pardytold police "his life was over, he was going to jail."

Jurors heard Wednesday that Pardyisa diabetic on three needles a day. Police went to his apartment and got his insulin.

Harvey said officers grabbed Pardywhen they handed him a glucose monitor.

Wednesday is day eleven of the trial, which is slated for four weeks.
