CENTENNIAL - Prosecutors played a videotape Monday of the shooting of an Aurora convenience store clerk after playing a taped confession by the suspect in the killing.

John Andrew Doubleday, 23, who is charged with first-degree murder in the death of Jutte Burton Gallegos, said he did not intend to shoot Gallegos but his gun fired accidentally.

Gallegos, 62, was working the graveyard shift alone at the 7-Eleven at East Sixth Avenue and Havana Street in the predawn hours of Dec. 10 when she was shot.

During Monday's hearing, prosecutors played an hourlong tape of Doubleday's first meeting with Aurora police investigators, then played a surveillance tape of the shooting.

The videotape shows a man police identified as Doubleday pulling a sawed-off shotgun on the clerk, then following her movements with it before it went off as Gallegos tried to flee through an office doorway behind the counter.

"I did what I did, and I'm not going to try to save my butt through an attorney," Doubleday told detectives shortly after he was captured at a Colorado Springs motel on Dec. 21, 10 days after the slaying.

Amie Renee Lewis, 22, Doubleday's live-in girlfriend and the mother of his son, was captured with him and is charged as an accessory to murder.

During the interview, Doubleday repeatedly admitted shooting Gallegos but said he only intended to rob the store, not to shoot anyone.

The suspect told investigators he had been drinking heavily with acquaintances in his apartment for several hours before he and a man he knows only as "Crazy John" left his apartment to rob the 7-Eleven store a little more than a mile from the apartment.

"Crazy John," who has not been positively identified by police, waited inside a van at an adjacent car wash while Doubleday went inside the 7-Eleven, the suspect told detectives.

Doubleday, who did not testify Monday, said during the interview with detectives that he remembers little of what happened inside the store.

But, Doubleday said, he recalls that the sawed-off, single-shot shotgun broke open at the breach and the shell popped out. He said he shoved the shell back into the chamber and, when he closed the weapon, it went off, striking Gallegos.
