A 26-year-old member of the U.S. military<\/a> accused of fatally shooting two women and wounding three other people at a music festival at Washington state’s Gorge Amphitheatre has entered not guilty pleas to multiple charges.<\/p>\n

The Seattle Times reports James M. Kelly pleaded not guilty Wednesday to two counts of first-degree murder, two counts of first-degree assault and one count of first-degree domestic violence assault in the shooting at the Beyond Wonderland electronic dance music festival, according to Grant County Superior Court documents.<\/p>\n

Seattle couple Brandy Escamilla and Josilyn Ruiz died in the June 17 shooting.<\/p>\n

A public defender was assigned to Kelly, whose next court appearance is set for July 25. A trial was set for late August, and Kelly could face a sentence of up to life in prison, court documents said. He remains lodged in the county jail without bail.<\/p>\n

Kelly told detectives he took psychedelic mushrooms June 17 that caused him to hallucinate. A woman he was dating who was also shot recalled him saying he thought the world was ending, according to probable cause documents. Kelly then went to his truck to get a gun and shot the two women, documents say. He also shot the woman he was dating, another person attending the festival and an employee, the documents allege.<\/p>\n

Kelly, an active member of the U.S. Army at Joint Base Lewis-McChord in western Washington<\/a>, alleges his hallucinations might have led to the shooting, according to court documents.<\/p>\n

The Gorge bans weapons at its venue and campground. It\u2019s unclear how that policy is enforced at the venue’s campgrounds, but police said they are investigating.<\/p>\n

Shortly before 8:30 p.m., Kelly shot Escamilla and Ruiz, who were walking through the campground, according to court documents. He also shot a 31-year-old man from Eugene, Oregon<\/a>, who headed toward the area when he heard the gunshots, documents allege.<\/p>\n

The woman dating Kelly called 911 and told a dispatcher Kelly had a gun before he discarded her phone, court documents state. Kelly then shot an employee responding to gunshot reports, according to the documents, and made his way to a nearby field, where a Sheriff\u2019s Office drone spotted him.<\/p>\n

Kelly then shot his girlfriend twice and also fired at the drone, hitting it once, documents allege.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
