The grandmother of a Southeast High School student told a 911 dispatcher the teen was alone in the basement with her boyfriend when she died of a single gunshot Friday afternoon, according to a recording of the call released Monday.

By the time paramedics arrived, Kaylee Freitag, 17, was no longer breathing. Her boyfriend, Zachary David Blosser, 18, remained on the scene and tried to administer CPR.
