TACOMA, Washington (AP) -- A seriously wounded 8-year-old boy calmly described his father's deadly knife rampage during a call for help to 911. "My daddy killed me with a knife and I'm gone," the boy told a dispatcher. "Can you please send the Army men or the ambulance?"

The soft-spoken child gave a wrong address and then hung up. But a second dispatcher called back, keeping him on the line while a frantic search was under way.

On Wednesday, authorities released the remarkable tape of Anthony Sukto's calm courage during the October 22 ordeal, and the frantic efforts to find him.

"What's going on there?" asked dispatcher Kristine Woodrow.

"My daddy killed me with a butcher knife," Anthony said.

"How did that happen if you are talking to me?" Woodrow asked.

"Because," Anthony answered. "I don't know what happened, but something. He grabbed knives. I woke up. My dad, he was killing my mom and then my, my, my dad told me to go onto the other bed and then he's like, 'You're next,' and then he killed me. I'm still alive. I kind of survived."

Woodrow said she wasn't sure if what she was hearing was for real.

"He was extremely calm," she recalled Wednesday. "It wasn't a typical response from someone who had just witnessed what he witnessed or had just been attacked."

Woodrow said while police and firefighters tried to find where Anthony was calling from, she tried to keep him on the phone.

"Are you bleeding, Anthony?" she asked. "Uh huh," he answered.

"Where are you bleeding from?" she asked. "From my stomach," he said.

"Are you there by yourself?" Woodrow asked. "No. My mom is already dead and I am the only survivor," he said.

Authorities found the home minutes later when the child's father, Tony Sukto, 36, flagged down a fire truck. Sukto has been charged with the murder of his wife, Pranee, 39, and attempted murder of his son, and has pleaded innocent.

Anthony underwent surgery for lacerations to his liver and is recovering.

Woodrow said she wants to visit the little boy to tell him something she didn't get a chance to before.

"I want to tell him how amazing he is," she said. "I don't think he knows that."

Agreed- that kid is going to become the type that eats barbed wire and kills wife-beaters.

Not bravery, but still amazing. Very sad all the same.

Cool Kid...

I don't think it was bravery so much as the wonderful human psyche... the kid understood that his mother was dead, understood that he had been stabbed, but had no idea of any effect it had. Or he was in a state if psudo-shock, causing him to be calm.

It probably just hadn't set in to him the implications of it all.. weird.

I hate evil people like that. How could you marry someone, have a kid with them, and not know they would be going on a rampage with a knife killing you?
I mean.. come one, there had to be a sign or something. Maybe abuse?

People need a license to breed O.o
That kid did better than I would have though, wow.

I BET HIS FATHER PLAYS VIDEO GAMEZ.

Especially GTA:SA.

[Triggar]

ANd the father had the audacity to say he was innocent.

Unless the kid's a psycho nutcase, like the kid in Godsend.

[Baneblade]

Or the Good Son.

[Triggar]

YES! Good call.

I have to say, sad story and all but it really tricks me off when people say he was brave, he wasn't brave at all, he was just naive and unaware of the real situation, thats not bravery.

[MrVicchio]

For 8, thats pretty brave.

You're a cynic.

No, at 8 he is still a child and depends on education he received and so on it varies the ways he would look at the situation, the way he talked and so on proves that he was not brave but just naive to the whole seriousness of the situation while most kids who were more mature at 8 would cry over their mums body and probably get killed too.
